Minto Flywheel Facility

The Minto Flywheel Facility for grid frequency regulation was the first in Canada.[1]

The 2 MW (for 15 min)[2] flywheel storage facility in Minto Ontario, Canada opened in 2014.[1]

The flywheel system (developed by NRStor and built by Temporal Power) uses 10 spinning steel flywheels on magnetic bearings.[1]
