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:
NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) cells for ternary and pouch batteries had an average price of 0.46 CNY/Wh ($0.065/Wh) and 0.48 CNY/Wh ($0.068/Wh), respectively.
