The report, ''Energy Storage Canadian Market Outlook,'' was published this month and explores the current role of energy storage in
Solar. Storage, produced by the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA) and Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors, is a comprehensive cost and market outlook that quantifies upcoming opportunities for wind, solar and energy storage across Canada, including deep dives into five key markets (BC, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Canada).
Solar energy capacity increased by 92% in that 5 year period. Canada is estimated to install at least 10 GW of new wind, solar, and storage capacity by 2030.
According to the Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA), the solar energy sector grew by 13.6% (288 MW) in 2021. Canada now has a solar capacity of 2,399 MW, compared to 2,111 MW in 2020. Canada's most valuable source for solar generation is Ontario, sharing almost 96% of its solar power.
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.
