- "The advances in electrotech in the 2010s and 2020s have surprised many people; batteries and photovoltaics keep getting better and more affordable."
- "Three years ago, in the search for more power, the Ontario government launched its first competitive bidding process where large, grid-scale batteries went head-to-head against the gas peaker plants that have been relied upon for decades to keep the lights on when energy demand spikes. At the time, the batteries and the gas plants came in at about the same average price. On Friday, batteries bid at prices so much lower that not a single gas plant was contracted. “Gas plants aren’t competitive anymore,” said Keith Brooks, program director at Environmental Defence. “If there’s a level playing field, clean energy and batteries win every time.” Climate-friendly technologies that don't produce any carbon emissions, like batteries, are advancing so quickly that in three years, their contract price in Ontario has dropped by half — from over $1,100 per megawatt in 2023 to $563 this year. It's one of the first local signs of an "electrotech" revolution that's sweeping the globe."
