Even without carbon pricing, wind power is set to be 40 per cent cheaper than gas-fired power in Alberta and Ontario by 2030. Our analysis also explores the costs of using battery storage to complement wind and solar power, finding that, even with storage included, both are still highly cost-competitive.
