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.
Energy Storage Canada is the only national voice for energy storage in Canada today. We focus exclusively on energy storage and speak for the entire industry because we represent the full value chain range of energy storage opportunities in our own markets and internationally.
Canada aims to reduce its greenhouse emissions by 45–50% below 2005 levels by 2035. In its 2022 report, ESC noted that the country would need at least 8 to 12GW of energy storage to achieve this goal. Energy storage can continue to grow from provincial governments integrating energy storage into existing regulatory framework.
Canada's solar energy capacity (utility-scale and onsite) grew 92% from 2019 to 2024. Our wind energy capacity grew 35% during the same period. Our energy storage capacity grew 192% during that period. Canada has 341 wind energy projects producing power. Canada has 217 utility-scale solar energy projects producing power.
Our diverse members are uniquely positioned to deliver clean, low-cost, reliable, flexible and scalable solutions for Canada''s energy needs. For more information on how Canada can use
