“The cost of BESS system is anticipated to be in the range of ₹2.40 to ₹2.20 crore per MWh during the period 2023-26 for development of BESS capacity of 4,000 MWh, which translates into capital cost of ₹9,400 crore with a budget support of ₹3,760 crore,” Power Minister R K Singh said in a written response to a query in Lok sabha.
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.
