Canadian-owned global power producer Northland Power Inc. has announced that its Oneida Energy Storage Project (“Oneida”) is now fully operational. The project, the largest of its kind currently in operation in Canada, was delivered ahead of schedule and below budget, the company said earlier in May.

“Today marks a major milestone for Northland and the Oneida project,” said Christine Healy, President & Chief Executive Officer of Northland. “Oneida represents a pivotal step in our strategy to develop and operate battery storage facilities.
