MW scale storage system cost breakdown in Canada 2030

How much energy storage does Canada need?

Image: NRStor. Energy Storage Canada’s report, Energy Storage: A Key Net Zero Pathway in Canada indicates Canada will need a minimum of 8 to 12GW of energy storage to ensure Canada achieves its goals.

What types of energy storage are available in Canada?

There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada: Storage is playing an increasingly important role in the electricity system by improving grid reliability and power quality, and by complementing variable renewable energy sources (VRES) like wind and solar.

Should energy storage be a key component of Canada's energy future?

Long-duration storage should be a key component of Canada’s energy future Additionally, while it is important we act and act quickly to deploy energy storage to meet the evolving needs of Canada’s energy system, we also need to act with an eye toward the long-term beyond .

How many MW is installed in Alberta?

In addition to the 100MW already installed in Alberta, the province has projects with a total capacity of more than 2500MW in the queue for connection.

Is government funding for energy storage projects increasing?

Government funding for energy storage projects is increasing. The Smart Renewables and Electrification Pathways program (SREPs)—which supports clean electricity projects—recently announced $500 million in additional funding and a new round of intakes for the Utility Support Stream.

Are battery storage costs based on long-term planning models?

Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.

The cost forecasts used in this module are updated from the values that were used in the IESO’s P2D study and are based on the NREL ATB report. NREL provides capital cost projections for wind generation and both utility-scale and distribution-scale installations of solar and storage.
