Canadian pension fund invests US$25m in compressed air storage provider Hydrostor
20 Apr, 2022
We have secured a US$25 million investment from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP), following a previous investment of US$250 million from Goldman Sachs.
This funding will support our development, construction, and operation of advanced compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) facilities.
CPP’s Managing Director, Bruce Hogg, sees our solutions as vital for grid decarbonization.
Hydrostor aims to complete its 8.7GWh storage projects in California and Australia by 2026, contingent on regulatory changes.
The company’s revenue model includes capacity contracts, arbitrage, and ancillary services.
