Let's analyze the numbers, the factors influencing them, and why now is the best time to invest in energy storage. $280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels. For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh.
However, that leaves a wide gap to close to realize Canada’s goals and to reach the full potential for energy storage in the country. Even the low end of the estimated potential for storage is equivalent to Manitoba’s entire installed generating capacity as of 2020. Today’s national installed capacity of energy storage is less than 1GW.
While there are nearly 50 energy storage projects currently listed within the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO)’s projects list, the development of a 600MW portfolio of five solar-plus-storage projects by Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. is underway.
For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh. A standard 100 kWh system can cost between $25,000 and $50,000, depending on the components and complexity. What are the costs of commercial battery storage?
The IESO issued the largest storage-based procurement in Canada in February 2023 with the Expedited Long-Term 1 RFP (the ELT1). The ELT1 resulted in a total of 739 MW of utility-scale storage being procured, with in-service dates in 2026. The weighted average price for successful proponents was approximately CAD836/MW.
At the median source EUI of 1.7 GJ/m2, the range of ENERGY STAR scores was 57 to 82. EUI is the energy use per square foot at a property (energy divided by square foot). EUI enables you to compare diferent size buildings. There are two ways of measuring energy: at the site and at the source.
