Laying the Foundation: Six priorities for supporting the decarbonization of Canada’s electricity grid with energy storage

This whitepaper outlines CanREA’s perspective on what is required to advance energy storage in Canada. It emphasizes the need for a ten-fold increase in wind and solar energy capacity over 30 years to achieve Canada’s net-zero goals. CanREA highlights six priority areas for action: education, regulation, markets, grid optimization, communities, and sustainability, to unlock the untapped potential of energy storage technologies in Canada’s electricity sector.
