Overview

The AUC will be considering the power plant and energy storage development applications in Proceeding 29258.

Red Willow Solar Inc. has applied for approval to construct and operate a 225-megawatt solar power plant, a 100-megawatt battery energy storage system and a project substation designated as the Birch 1075S Substation. The power plant would consist of approximately 484,000 solar modules on fixed bifacial panels. The 100-megawatt lithium-ion battery energy storage system is proposed to be located within the fenced area directly adjacent to the collector substation. These applications have been filed under the Hydro and Electric Energy Act.

The facilities would be located on approximately 386 hectares of agricultural land in the locations described in the table below, approximately 18 kilometres northeast of Stettler, Alberta.
