On Friday, batteries bid at prices so much lower that not a single gas plant was contracted. “Gas plants aren’t competitive anymore,” said Keith Brooks, program director at Environmental Defence. “If there’s a level playing field, clean energy and batteries win every time.” Climate-friendly technologies that don't produce any carbon emissions, like batteries, are advancing so quickly that in three years, their contract price in Ontario has dropped by half — from over $1,100 per megawatt in 2023 to $563 this year.
