Capital cost of utility-scale battery storage systems in the New Policies Scenario, 2017-2040 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.
For a 2MW (2,000 kilowatts) battery storage system, if we assume an average battery cell cost of $0.4 per watt-hour, the cost of the battery alone would be 2,000,000 * $0.4
A 1 MW (megawatt) lithiumion battery is a significant energy storage device, and its cost can vary depending on several factors.
We use a bottom-up method, accounting for all system and project development costs incurred during installation to model the costs for residential, commercial, and utility-scale PV systems,

In conclusion, the price of 1MWh battery energy storage systems is a complex function of multiple factors, including battery technology, system components, production
The Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) representatives reported establishing a regulatory framework for energy storage in 2019, followed by market rules approval in 2021. The Cyprus Transmission System Operator has received 13 storage applications totaling 224 megawatts capacity, with eight applications processed and five under review.
AKEL MP Costas Costa characterised Cyprus as “the only country in the world where thousands of megawatt-hours go unused due to lack of centralised green energy storage systems,” adding: “During the day we waste megawatt-hours because we lack storage, and at night we are one step away from blackouts.”
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
