ESS Market Report Covers Energy Storage Companies in Australia and is Segmented by Type (Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Pumped-storage Hydroelectricity (PSH), and Other Types) and End User (Residential, Commercial, and Industrial, and Utility-Scale).
An energy storage system (ESS) is a device or group of devices assembled to convert the electrical energy from power systems and store energy to supply electrical energy at a later time when needed. The Australian energy storage systems (ESS) market is segmented by type and end user.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
The construction of the grid was anticipated to begin in early 2022 and is expected to be in operation by 2023. Thus, upcoming projects in Australia are expected to boost the demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) during the forecast period.
The Australian government strongly supports energy storage infrastructure though the Capacity Investment Scheme and NSW Energy Infrastructure Roadmap, with highly competitive biannual tenders offering revenue underwriting to attract investment and ensure financial stability in a volatile market.
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:
