NRStor Inc. presented to Council on May 19, 2026 a proposal for a liquid air energy storage (LAES) facility in the Township, tied to the IESO Long-Term procurement process LLT(c). The company is considering several heavy‑industrial zoned sites along the new transmission corridor, targeting at least 100 MW with 10 hours of storage, using about 15–20 acres, and intends to bid into the new IESO program, which requires a Municipal Support Resolution (MSR) as part of the application.Council members expressed conditional support, stressing the importance of a strong development agreement, infrastructure protection, and public engagement, and the Mayor asked NRStor to host a public open house and then return with community feedback and a draft Community Host Agreement. No site has been selected and no municipal resolution has yet been granted, so local approvals, land arrangements, host agreements, permitting, and community relations work are still open, creating a wide range of opportunities for technical consultants, energy developers, permitting, public engagement, and local contractors once the project advances.

Project would be a 40‑year IESO contract, zero‑emissions, closed‑loop water process with approximately 350 construction jobs; requires heavy industrial land and Municipal Support Resolution plus Community Host Agreement from the Township.
