SIX NATIONS OF THE GRAND-The Oneida Energy Storage Project (OES) is another step closer to providing energy storage in the province.
The project received support from Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) after the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) submitted a Community Investment and Final Review Report on April 30, 2021.
Elected Chief Mark Hill said it will benefit future generations.
“The Oneida Energy Storage project will offer the community employment through not only the construction and maintenance of the facility, but through its management of day-to-day operations. Our students will benefit from further educational and co-op opportunities while reducing the impact of greenhouse gases for future generations,” he said.
