As costs for energy storage have come down, electricity generated from landfill gas (LFG) can be stored as part of a microgrid system. A microgrid: Is an independent and self-sufficient local distributed energy system
Microgrids provide resilience, sustainability, and efficient energy solutions by leveraging onsite renewable generation with smart grid resources for better connectivity, decarbonisation, and access to energy.
The cost of microgrids varies widely due to the many different sizes and configurations of the systems, but there are reference points, as well as cost breakdowns of the various components of projects.

PVMars lists the costs of 1mwh-3mwh energy storage system (ESS) with solar here (lithium battery design). The price unit is each watt/hour, total price is calculated as: 0.2 US$ * 2000,000 Wh = 400,000 US$. When solar modules
The microgrids profiled range in size from 78 kW (a small demonstration in Michigan) to 112.5 MW (Denmark), and serve commercial, military, municipal, education, agriculture, and utility clients.
In commercial/industrial and utility microgrids, soft costs (43% and 24%, respectively) represent significant portion of the total costs per megawatt. Finally, energy storage contributes significantly to the total cost of commercial and community microgrids, which have percentages of 25% and 15%, respectively, of the total costs per megawatt.
The analysis of total microgrid costs per megawatt shows that the community microgrid market has the lowest mean, at $2.1 million/MW of DERs installed; followed by the utility and campus markets, which have mean costs of $2.6 million/MW and $3.3 million/MW, respectively. Finally, the commercial market has the highest average cost, at $4 million/MW.
