Download Case Study

Georgia-Pacific is one of the world’s leading makers of tissue, pulp, packaging, building products and related chemicals.

Georgia Pacific in Englehart, ON., partnered with AUX Energy and PowerFlex (EDF Renewables) on a 3MW 2.3-hour battery energy storage system (BESS). Georgia-Pacific hosts the battery behind, behind-the-meter at their Englehart, Ontario plants. The BESS has been deployed to reduce Global Adjustment charges, a form of demand charges, and takes advantage of energy arbitrage as a form of further costs savings. The BESS takes advantage of market services in Ontario to drive more value in the form of Demand Response and Operating Reserve revenue.
