New Tesla Megapacks will Bolster Our Ability to Capture Energy

As we move into the next century of serving the citizens of Saint John, we believe it is critical that we do all we can for the future health of our city, our province and our planet.

As construction continues, excitement builds for the history-making moment the turbines start turning

Harnessing Burchill wind to help energy buyers reach net zero.

We have a long tradition of fostering a strong entrepreneurial spirit. It’s the kind of spirit that’s alive and well in companies like Saint John Energy.

Dalhousie University research shows Saint John’s new wind farm will be highly energy productive and can provide power at peak times while complementing other wind energy sites in Atlantic Canada.

In time, the smart grid will give us the ability to increasingly and seamlessly shave the peak so our customers don’t have to. And they won’t even notice.

The financial and environmental benefits of the Burchill Wind Project are significant, and go far beyond Saint John – they will flow throughout New Brunswick and help in the global drive to curb climate change.

As an asset belonging to and in the service of the people of Saint John, we presented our first update to this Council of our current position, our challenges, and our opportunities.

On the occasion of Canada's Clean50 recognizing Ryan Mitchell for championing a strategy for growth driven by innovation and the pursuit of cleaner energy solutions, Ryan points to the huge opportunity that this moment promises.

As a nimble, locally-owned utility focused on innovation, we are poised to be part of Canada’s clean energy revolution.

The world is changing around us, and fast. We can’t continue to be one of the highest-rated electrical utilities in the nation for customer service and reliability by standing still.

Canada's Clean50 today announced that Ryan Mitchell is being singled out for championing a strategy for growth driven by innovation and the pursuit of cleaner energy solutions.

Wind is the cheapest form of new energy generation today. A large battery like the Megapack can help us store that wind energy and, again, deploy it when it is needed.

Earlier this month, Saint John Energy did something we have never done before – alerted our customers to a looming peak in electricity demand and asked them to reduce their energy consumption.

The first large-scale wind development in the history of Saint John. Saint John Energy expects to save more than $4 million a year in energy purchase costs by tapping into Burchill.

A partnership between three Nova Scotia towns to develop a wind farm to power their communities could be a national model for municipal cooperation on renewable energy projects.

Summerside, which used to import all of its energy from outside the province, now has one of the highest integrations of wind in North America.

“The Burchill Wind Project will have a positive benefit for at least 25 years. That’s good for the City and good for Saint John Energy customers who can look forward to better pricing in the long run.” - Scott Stoll
