As of most recent estimates, the cost of a BESS by MW is between $200,000 and $450,000, varying by location, system size, and market conditions. This translates to
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
How containerised BESS costs change over time. Grid connection costs. Balance of Plant (BOP) costs. Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. And the time taken for projects to progress from construction to commercial operations. Other variables add costs to projects.
