Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

BESS is a technology that allows for the storage of energy generated from various sources, such as solar or wind, in batteries. This stored energy can then be used when needed, providing a reliable and sustainable energy supply.

BESS plays a crucial role in achieving carbon neutrality and enhancing energy security by ensuring that clean energy is available even when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

About the En-BESS project

The En-BESS (Enoch Battery Energy Storage System) project is a 250MW battery energy storage project led by the Enoch Cree Nation in Alberta. This initiative positions the Nation as a leader in clean energy innovation, contributing to provincial energy stability while advancing Indigenous-led climate action.
