How much you get
Battery storage rebate
$300/kWh of storage capacity, capped at 50% of total project cost.
Stacked with solar
Combined solar + battery rebate ceiling.
This rebate is designed to pair with solar — a typical Niagara Falls household installing both nets up to $10,000 combined, versus $5,000 for battery alone. Since your electricity comes through Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI), it's worth asking them directly whether any of their own conservation programs interact with a battery install before you commit, since we couldn't independently verify specific NPEI incentive dollar figures beyond their general "Save on Energy" programs hub.

How much is the battery storage rebate in Niagara Falls?
Up to $5,000: $300 per kWh of storage capacity, capped at 50% of total project cost. Stacked with the solar rebate, a Niagara Falls household can net up to $10,000 combined.
Does Niagara Falls have its own battery incentive on top of the provincial one?
No. We checked the City of Niagara Falls directly and found no municipal battery or storage program. Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI), the local distributor for Niagara Falls, Lincoln, Pelham, and West Lincoln, runs a general 'Save on Energy' programs hub, but we couldn't confirm specific dollar figures for battery storage from it, so we're not listing numbers we can't verify.
Do I need new solar to get the battery rebate in Niagara Falls?
Yes. The Home Renovation Savings Program pays the battery incentive only as part of a new solar PV project sized for household use, not as a standalone purchase, and taking it rules out net metering.
Your utility is NPEI, not one of the merged regional players
Niagara Falls is one of the few Golden Horseshoe cities that didn't get absorbed into Alectra. Power here comes from Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. (NPEI), a distributor jointly owned by Niagara Falls, Lincoln, Pelham, and West Lincoln, with Niagara Falls holding the largest stake. The provincial rebate figures above don't change based on that ownership structure, but NPEI is who handles your interconnection paperwork and net metering terms directly, and it's worth confirming those with them rather than assuming a bigger regional utility's policies apply. Winter is the other local factor worth planning around: lake-effect snow squalls off Lake Erie have caused stretches of outages in the Niagara region in past winters, including during Winter Storm Elliott in December 2022, which is the kind of event battery backup is actually built for.
