In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems.
Lithium battery prices fluctuate due to raw material costs (e.g., lithium, cobalt), manufacturing innovations, geopolitical factors, and demand surges from EVs and renewable
The cost comparison plots compare this study''s 2019 projected costs for lithium ion and flow batteries, with those from other studies'' cost estimate and projections.
This report updates those cost projections with data published in 2021, 2022, and early 2023. The projections in this work focus on utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems for use in capacity
The 2022 ATB represents cost and performance for battery storage with a representative system: a 5-kW/12.5-kWh (2.5-hour) system. It represents only lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)—with nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium
Executive Summary In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration
This analysis calculates the raw material cost for common energy storage technologies and provides the raw material breakdown and impact of raw material price changes for lithium-ion battery packs.
The 2021 ATB represents cost and performance for battery storage across a range of durations (2–10 hours). It represents lithium-ion batteries only at this time. There are a variety of other commercial and emerging energy storage
In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are

The price of lithium-ion battery packs has dropped 14% to a record low of $139/kWh, according to analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF). This was driven by raw material and component
This report represents a first attempt at pursuing that objective by developing a systematic method of categorizing energy storage costs, engaging industry to identify theses various cost

Recent industry analysis reveals that lithium-ion battery storage systems now average €300-400 per kilowatt-hour installed, with projections indicating a further 40% cost reduction by 2030. For utility operators and project developers, these economics reshape the fundamental calculations of grid stabilization and peak demand management.
Battery cost projections for 4-hour lithium-ion systems, with values normalized relative to 2022. The high, mid, and low cost projections developed in this work are shown as bolded lines. Figure ES-2.
In the European market, lithium-ion batteries currently range from €200 to €300 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), with prices continuing to decrease as manufacturing scales up and technology improves. Power conversion systems, including inverters and transformers, represent approximately 15-20% of the total investment.
A big driver of the fall in BESS costs will be a decline in the costs of the battery cells and packs themselves, which can make up half the cost of a lithium-ion BESS.
The analysis shows that each material only contributes a minor share to total raw material cost. In addition, total raw materials cost only constitute a share of total product price. The cost increase of one raw material will therefore only have a limited impact on lithium-ion battery pack prices.
Research firm Fastmarkets recently forecast that average lithium-ion battery pack prices using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells will fall to US$100/kWh by 2025, with nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) hitting the same threshold in 2027.
