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:
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.
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.
These projects include AS and VRE firming BESS projects. With BESS projects already in operation, and with such a large capacity of BESS projects in the pipeline, the Philippines’ electricity market (WESM) faces the same challenge faced by electricity markets in the US, United Kingdom and Australia.
It shows predictions from the simulation across price duration curves to show the effect – again it can be seen from the scenarios where BESS operates strategically (i.e., exercises market power) how such behaviour will tend to increase higher prices and reduce lower prices.
