Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming essential in the shift towards renewable energy, providing solutions for grid stability, energy management, and power quality. However, understanding the costs associated with BESS is critical for anyone considering this technology, whether for a home, business, or utility scale.
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 average cost is about $800 to $1,000 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of storage capacity. Larger capacity batteries often offer better value per kWh, making them a more cost-effective choice in the long run. Inverters can range from a few hundred dollars for small models to several thousand for larger, higher-quality systems.
Investing in a home battery storage system is a smart choice for Canadians who want to reduce their dependence on the grid and maximize renewable energy use. In this guide, we explored the main types of energy storage systems, their components, benefits, and costs.
Installation Fees: Typically range from $2,000–$5,000, depending on complexity. Battery Management Systems (BMS): Advanced features may add $1,000–$3,000. Energy Independence: Reduce reliance on the grid and avoid outages. Cost Savings: Store energy during off-peak hours and use it during peak times to lower electricity bills.
The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs. The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time.
