Falling prices for renewable energy and battery storage heavily influenced a 30% decline in microgrid costs from 2014 to 2018, according to Peter Asmus, research director for Guidehouse.
The analysis of total microgrid costs per megawatt shows that the community microgrid market has the lowest mean, at $2.1 million/MW of DERs installed; followed by the utility and campus markets, which have mean costs of $2.6 million/MW and $3.3 million/MW, respectively. Finally, the commercial market has the highest average cost, at $4 million/MW.
In commercial/industrial and utility microgrids, soft costs (43% and 24%, respectively) represent significant portion of the total costs per megawatt. Finally, energy storage contributes significantly to the total cost of commercial and community microgrids, which have percentages of 25% and 15%, respectively, of the total costs per megawatt.
