Application
Enfinite Corporation (“Enfinite”) applied pursuant to s 3 of the Fair, Efficient and Open Competition Regulation (“FEOCR”), seeking permission to share records not available to the public. The information was related to the eReserve 7, 8 and 9 Battery Energy Storage Power Plants (“ERV7”, “ERV8” and “ERV9”).

ERV9 is located near the hamlet of Hythe and consists of 11 2.4-megavolt ampere lithium-ion battery modules, for a total generating capability of 20 MW. Enfinite applied to share the records between Enfinite, Enfinite Limited Partnership, URICA Energy Real Time Ltd. and URICA Asset Optimization Ltd.
Decision
