Saddlebrook Solar + Storage
A power project
The Saddlebrook Solar + Storage Project strengthens Alberta’s electricity grid by delivering reliable energy when Albertans need it most. When complete, it will operate as a combined solar power and battery storage facility. The project is being delivered in two phases, with Phase One now operational and Phase Two underway.
Completed in early 2024, Phase One focused on the solar facility, including installation of bifacial (double-sided) solar panels that can generate 81 megawatts of electricity per day—enough to power approximately 20,000 homes. The electricity produced flows into the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES) through an on-site substation, supporting seamless connection to the grid.
Now in Phase Two, we are evaluating battery energy storage system technologies. Once in place, the battery will work alongside the solar facility to store energy for use during periods of high demand, further strengthening grid stability across Alberta.
Situated on TC Energy-owned land within the Saddlebrook Industrial Park in Aldersyde, Alberta, the project exemplifies our ability to connect communities to the energy they depend on. By investing in projects like this, we’re not just powering homes and businesses—we’re powering progress.
