Kneehill Solar GP Inc., by Application 30958-A001, registered on July 21, 2026, applied\nto the Alberta Utilities Commission for approval to make minor amendments to the 10-megawatt\n(MW) energy storage facility within the existing Kneehill Solar Generation Facility boundary, in\nthe Three Hills area.\n\n2. The proposed work is related to facilities previously approved by the Commission but not\nyet constructed in Approval 30539-D02-2026.\n1\n\n3. Kneehill Solar requested to update the equipment of the battery energy storage system\nfrom the SolBank system to the HyperBlock system, a type of HyperStrong system.\nKneehill Solar indicated that the number of containers would be reduced from eight to five,\ninverters would be reduced from eight to three, and transformers would be reduced from four to\nthree. Kneehill Solar confirmed that the HyperBlock system uses the same lithium iron\nphosphate battery chemistry as the approved configuration and that the proposed changes are not\nchanging the battery technology or associated characteristics.\n2\n\n4. Kneehill Solar confirmed that the project capability remains the same as what was\napproved, at 10 MW/20 megawatt-hours.\n\n5. Kneehill Solar stated that the proposed HyperBlock system incorporates safety systems\nand design features that are comparable to the approved SolBank system and are intended to\nprevent, detect and mitigate thermal events, fire hazards and explosion risks.

Kneehill Solar retained Green Cat Renewables Canada Corporation to complete a noise\nimpact assessment for the proposed equipment which concluded that the project will comply\nwith Rule 012: Noise Control.\n5\n\n8.

The application stated that the power plant will not be connected to the Alberta Interconnection Electric System but will be used to power the on-site data centre load. The application was filed under the Hydro and Electric Energy Act.\nOn August 17, 2026, the AUC denied the Synapse Data Center Power Plant Project application. The Commission finds that the project is too close to the surrounding community, and Synapse failed to demonstrate any compelling justification for selecting that location. The site is simply not suitable for the proposed development. In making this finding, the Commission is not commenting on the suitability of a data centre in this location. The Commission does not approve or regulate data centres.\nHearing information\nTo learn more about the review process, or for more information about how you may become involved in this proceeding, please contact us or visit the following webpages:\nReview process for facility applications\nHave your say about a utility project\nParticipate in an AUC hearing\nThe eFiling System​\nThe eFiling System should be accessed to view the applications and the other documents the AUC will be considering in this proceeding.
