By GlobalDataThe installation uses 334 Tesla Megapack 2XL units, which are fully integrated lithium-ion battery systems designed for utility-scale storage.
Hagersville is intended to address Ontario’s electricity system needs by stabilising the grid and supporting integration of intermittent renewable sources.
This role aligns with requirements identified by Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator.
Boralex president and CEO Patrick Decostre said: “The commissioning of the Hagersville Battery Energy Storage Park is a defining moment in our 2030 Strategic Plan.
“It demonstrates our ability to deliver transformative infrastructure that strengthens grid reliability and accelerates the integration of renewable energy across North America – at the pace required to support economic growth, energy independence and decarbonisation.”
Hagersville is SNGRDC’s second battery storage facility to reach commercial operation, with four additional projects under development.
SNGRDC now holds 1GW of battery storage capacity in North America.
A formal inauguration event for Hagersville is scheduled for spring 2026 and will include participation from community members, indigenous partners, political representatives and media.
