The Government of Canada invests in clean electricity in British Columbia, Yukon and the Northwest Territories

Published

on

YELLOWKNIFE, NT, June 23, 2026 /CNW/ – The world is changing rapidly: global trade has been upended, artificial intelligence is scaling at speed, and climate change is intensifying. In response, Canada’s new government is focused on what we can control: building an electricity grid that underpins energy security, affordability and competitiveness.

Reliable, affordable, low-emissions power is only gaining importance as electricity demand in Canada is expected to double by 2050. That is why on May 14, 2026, Canada announced a forthcoming National Electricity Strategy. This is our Team Canada plan to build a sustainable, affordable, prosperous and secure future, including in northern Canada, where access to electricity is more challenging, leading to northern and remote utility rates that are six- to ten-times higher than the national average. To that end, under the Strategy, the Government of Canada will work with territorial and Indigenous partners to support reliable, affordable electricity in the North that will secure our domestic economic and security interests and ensure an affordable future for Canadians.

To bolster those efforts, today, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, alongside the Honourable Rebecca Alty, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, announced over $16 million for five clean energy infrastructure projects in British Columbia, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

From renewable energy to energy storage and grid modernization, these projects will strengthen energy security and reliability in the west and north, reduce reliance on diesel, lower emissions, create new opportunities for Indigenous ownership and participation, and catalyze new clean energy jobs.

As outlined in Powering Canada Strong: A National Strategy for an Electrified Canadian Economy, the federal government is committed to partnering with provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, utilities and industry to unlock new, clean power that Canadians can count on. By investing in Canadian projects like these, our government is creating new, good jobs; lowering emissions; supporting affordability; and attracting investment in a more connected, resilient and clean grid.

Quotes

“When it comes to electricity, Canada starts from a place of strength — but it’s time to build on that so we have a strong, affordable, sovereign grid for years to come. Northern electricity grids and generation present some challenges, but mostly enormous opportunity — as evidenced by today’s investments. Working alongside provinces, territories, Indigenous Peoples and industry, we will keep reliability high and bills low as we expand clean, reliable, affordable power for all Canadians.”

The Honourable Tim Hodgson
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources

“Communities across the Northwest Territories and the North are paying far too much for energy. These investments will cut costs, replace polluting diesel, and deliver reliable power Northerners can count on – all while advancing reconciliation through meaningful Indigenous ownership and leadership. In true partnership with local communities, our government is creating good jobs and new economic opportunities as we build a safer, more sustainable energy future for Canada.”

The Honourable Rebecca Alty
Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Member of Parliament for Northwest Territories

Quick Facts

Federal funding for these projects is provided by the Government of Canada’s Smart Renewables and Electrification Pathways Program. This $4.5-billion program supports the deployment of grid modernization projects, energy storage and non-emitting generation in every region of Canada, helping to grow the grid in a sustainable, affordable and reliable manner.The program supports Indigenous ownership, with about 50 percent of approved deployment projects to date having Indigenous ownership.On May 14, the Government of Canada announced a forthcoming National Electricity Strategy. This strategy aims to double the capacity of our grid by 2050 and supply clean, reliable, affordable power across the country for decades to come.To further develop this strategy, the Government of Canada has launched consultations with provinces, territories, Indigenous Peoples, utilities and unions to identify the actions needed to double Canada’s grid most effectively and affordably.

Sungrow Unveils PowerStack 255CS Series for C&l: Stable, Seamless, Sustainable

Published

on

By

MUNICH, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, the globally leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, launched its C&I PowerStack On&Off-Grid Solar-Storage solution at Intersolar Europe.

As electricity prices rise and grid reliability becomes an increasing concern worldwide, businesses are looking for solutions that can ensure continuous power supply while supporting their decarbonization goals. Sungrow’s C&I PowerStack On&Off-Grid Solar-Storage solution is designed to meet these needs through flexible system configuration and multi-scenario adaptability, delivering stable and efficient power support for commercial and industrial users. The solution also supports multiple operation modes, including VPP, demand control, VSG, backup power, seamless switching, and black start, enabling strong adaptability across diverse grid conditions and operational requirements.

Two Architectures for Different Customer Needs

-DC-Coupled: Native All-in-One Seamless Backup

The DC-coupled solution combines the SH125CX hybrid inverter with the ST245CS-S energy storage system. Solar, battery storage, and diesel generation operate as one integrated energy system, enabling seamless transitions between grid-connected and off-grid operation.

For facilities with power demands of up to 250 kW, the solution eliminates the need for an additional automatic transfer switch (ATS) cabinet, reducing upfront investment and simplifying system design. Solar energy can also charge the battery directly, improving overall system efficiency and maximizing renewable energy utilization.

-AC-Coupled: Independent & Flexible Seamless Backup

Combining the SG series PV inverter with ST255CS storage and ATS1250, the system seamlessly takes over loads on grid failure; during extended outages, the diesel generator can be commanded to start and synchronize smoothly. The storage system integrates with existing PV systems through plug-and-play installation, requiring no modifications and keeping retrofit costs low.

New facilities benefit most from DC-coupled architecture for its superior cost-efficiency and existing facilities are best served by AC-coupled architecture for its minimal retrofit investment. The optimal solution depends on each customer’s energy requirements and infrastructure.

Full Scenario Coverage Across C&I Applications

The solution is designed for wide-ranging applications, covering on-grid, on&off-grid, and off-grid scenarios. It supports deployment in commercial buildings such as retail shops and offices, as well as agriculture facilities, logistics hubs, and island resort standalone power systems.

Its versatility has been demonstrated in diverse real-world scenarios, from a fully off-grid sawmill in South Australia to weak-grid applications in Cambodia. Across different infrastructure environments, Sungrow’s solution helps customers maintain critical power, reduce diesel reliance and build more sustainable operations.

Delivering Tangible Customer Value

Power stability: seamless on&off-grid switching with MW-level black-start capability for reliable and continuous operationFull application coverage: scalable from a single unit to multi-cabinet systems, serving C&I buildings, islands, agriculture, logistics, and resortsHigh return: reduce peak demand charges, optimize self-consumption and reduce diesel usageUltimate convenience: simple O&M and real-time management via iSolarCloud, ensuring smooth operation even in remote areasCell-to-plant security: proactive risk early warning, three-tier overcurrent protection, three-tier fire suppression, and greater peace of mind

As the global energy transition accelerates, On&Off-Grid Solar-Storage is shifting from “nice-to-have” to “must-have.” Sungrow remains committed to delivering innovative clean energy solutions, empowering customers worldwide with stable, secure, and convenient green power.
