In 2025, the average energy storage cost ranges from $200 to $400 per kWh, with total system prices varying by technology, region, and installation factors.
As investment in renewable energy generation continues to rise to match increasing demand so too does investment, and the opportunity to invest, in energy storage.
In 2017–2021, intraday price differentials yielded energy value potential of $4–6/kW-month for a 4-hour storage system participating in the CAISO energy market (without ancillary services focus).
In a 2032 system, 13.6 GW of energy storage is currently planned to provide $835 million to $1.34 billion of annual net grid benefits depending on storage costs, as estimated in the CPUC Energy Storage Procurement Study: Moving Forward, Chapter 3.
The capital cost of utility-owned energy storage projects dropped from $6,000–$11,500/kW for pre-2015 pilot and demonstration projects, to $1,200–$1,600/kW by the end of 2021.
Recent contracts are predominantly for much larger transmission-connected energy storage projects. Earlier energy storage contracts were significantly more expensive across all grid domains, and they generally reflect the cost reductions seen in the global storage industry.
Under declining battery prices, new utility-owned storage projects that are recently installed or under development are expected to cost $1,300–$1,700/kW, except for a few very small projects above that range.
The energy storage projects will be installed by the end of 2024. In 2013, the CPUC issued Decision 13-10-040 and directed California’s three large investor-owned utilities to procure 1,325 megawatts of energy storage by 2020.
