At present China does have some market advantages when it comes to the development of BESS infrastructure, including the supply chain related to global lithium-ion battery production, with
It is nonetheless still eye-opening to note just how big those differences in cost are. The average for a turnkey system in China including 1-hour, 2-hour and 4-hour duration BESS was just US$101/kWh. In the US, the average was US$236/kWh and in Europe US$275/kWh, more than double China’s average cost.
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.
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.
In December, PowerChina’s 2025-2026 energy storage system procurement, which sought 16 GWh of BESS, saw bids ranging from $60.5/kWh to $82/kWh, averaging $66.3/kWh. In January, CGN New Energy procured 4.5 GWh of grid-forming BESS and 6 GWh of grid-following BESS.
