The cost of a battery energy storage system depends on its size, type, and capacity. Below is a general breakdown: Lithium-Ion Batteries: $10,000–$20,000 (including installation). Lead-Acid Batteries: $5,000–$10,000 (cheaper but less efficient). Lithium-Ion Batteries: $50,000–$200,000 or more, depending on system size.
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.
Installing a battery energy storage system can be more affordable thanks to various incentives across the country. Here are some highlights: Canada Greener Homes Grant: Offers up to $5,000 for energy-efficient upgrades, including battery storage when combined with solar.
