Owen Sound Hydrogen Peaker Plant
Current H2

Hydrogen Peaker Plant
for Owen Sound, Ontario

An innovative facility that produces, stores, and uses green hydrogen to deliver carbon-free electricity during peak demand, strengthening Ontario's grid.

Project Overview

Current H₂ is proposing to develop one of North America's first hydrogen peaking generation plants in Owen Sound. We finance, design, permit, install, operate, and maintain on-site hydrogen power solutions.

IPP Ownership

We develop, own, and operate under long-term contracts with the IESO.

Green Hydrogen Production

Uses clean off-peak electricity to create, store, and generate power from 100% hydrogen.

Community Focus

Local jobs, tax base growth, and infrastructure upgrades for Owen Sound.

How It Works

We capture surplus renewable energy and transform it into reliable peak-time power.

Hydrogen Peaker Process

Our Clean Energy Cycle

A simple, powerful cycle that ensures clean power is always available.

1. Produce

We use excess renewable electricity to create Green Hydrogen (H₂) on-site using electrolyzers.

2. Store

This hydrogen is safely stored in our large storage sphere, creating a reserve of clean energy.

3. Deliver

When demand peaks, we use the stored hydrogen to generate reliable, 100% carbon-free electricity.

Benefits for Owen Sound

The project enhances grid reliability and delivers significant community benefits.

Local Jobs & Procurement

Creates construction and long-term skilled jobs, with local procurement targets.

Economic Growth

Generates incremental revenue, diversifies the tax base, and stimulates local businesses.

Grid Reliability

Provides dispatchable power to rapidly respond to peak demand events.

No Municipal Cost

Current H₂ privately funds the project—no burden on municipal budgets.

Carbon-Free Energy

Zero emissions during operation, supporting Ontario's climate goals.

Innovation Leadership

Positions Owen Sound as a leader in North American energy transition solutions.

Health, Safety & Permitting

Current H₂ is committed to the highest standards of health and safety. The facility will be designed, constructed, and operated in strict accordance with all applicable regulations.

Environmental Permitting

Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) filing, ensuring compliance with all provincial standards for air, noise, and water.

Regulatory Compliance

Adheres to ESA electrical codes, TSSA fuel safety regulations, and CSA Group standards for hydrogen technology.

Zoning Compliance

Site is zoned M2 – General Industrial, permitting public utilities and industrial uses.

Proposed Location

Sited in an industrial park next to Hydrogen Optimized and local distribution lines.
