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.
With substantial financial returns from both FCAS and energy arbitrage, supported by robust government initiatives, the future of BESS in Australia looks promising. Continued investment in BESS will be essential to meet renewable energy targets and ensure a stable and resilient energy grid.
Diversify revenue streams (e.g., FCAS, shifting) though flexible contracts, complementary technical setups (e.g., duration, hardware) and detailed modelling/sensitivity testing. Australia’s BESS regulations are both complex and continuously evolving.
