The past couple of weeks I have noticed some sort of drilling platform in the lake just south and east of the Leslie Spit. Does anyone know what they are doing?

There was a (repeated) piece about it on the CBC National news last night.This is what the rig is for: https://www.torontohydro.com/sites/.../pages/compressedairenergystorageproject.aspx
It is a new energy storage system being built, and is actually pretty cool.
Agreed, it is very cool. Completely forgot about this plan until I saw this thread. Deep lake cooling, giant balloons to store power...very innovative uses of an amazing resource we have lapping at our shores.
And Enwave is in the process of expanding that system:

Great if they can target the emergent west DT as well.
