Description
North Bay Hydro Services Inc (NBHS) is building Canada’s first community based microgrid in North Bay, Ontario. The microgrid is an all-inclusive approach to energy supply and resiliency; by connecting the campus through generation and distribution, the Community Energy Park (CEP) members becomes stronger together.i The microgrid will be connected to and service important and high use community assets including Memorial Gardens, YMCA, Aquatic Centre and Thompson Park. This will be a true microgrid and have its own generation sources and be capable of islanding from the main electrical grid.
