Welcome to Bedrock Energy Corp.

Leading Ontario into a net-zero future

Proven technology, Ontario geology, and a plan for the grid. See what we’re about.

Compressed Air Energy Storage

Innovation. Preservation. Growth.

Storing Ontario's surplus energy as compressed air in natural rock reservoirs — and returning it to the grid when the province needs it most.

How CAES works

Where to start

The technology

How compressed air energy storage works, and why proven equipment and existing geology make it deliverable now.

The impact

Emissions avoided, jobs created in Ontario, homes powered and costs stabilised for ratepayers.

An innovative green solution

Efficient. Resilient. Sustainable.

Surplus electricity generated in periods of low demand is stored as compressed air. When demand rises, that air is used to generate electricity for Ontario's homes and businesses.

Surplus electricity driving air compression

Compressed air held in porous rock formations

Stored air generating electricity at peak demand

01 — Surplus

Energy that would otherwise be wasted

Ontario generates more electricity than it needs in periods of low demand. Without somewhere to put it, that surplus is curtailed.

02 — Compress

Surplus becomes compressed air

That electricity drives compressors instead of being thrown away. The equipment is proven and already in industrial service.

03 — Store

Held in natural rock reservoirs

The air is stored in porous geological formations already present underground — existing environmental features, put to use rather than replaced.

04 — Generate

Returned to the grid on demand

When demand peaks, the stored air generates electricity for Ontario's residences and businesses — reducing waste and stabilising energy costs.

Delivering power to the grid

Two sites in southwestern Ontario

Bedrock's projects make use of geological features that already exist, in communities the company has been meeting with since 2023. Stored air is returned to the grid where Ontario's demand actually sits.
