3. Literature review on grid-scale energy storage in India The literature on grid-scale energy storage in India examines its role as part of India''s energy mix in the power
The data includes an annual average and quarterly average prices of different lithium ion battery chemistries commonly used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
But here''s the kicker – while lithium-ion systems now average $280-$350 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) globally, upfront costs for grid-scale projects still range from $1.2 million to $2.1 million per MW
In 2025, the average energy storage cost ranges from $200 to $400 per kWh, with total system prices varying by technology, region, and installation factors.
In May, commodity price reporting agency Fastmarkets said that it expected nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) Li-ion battery pack prices to fall below US$100/kWh in 2027, and lower-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP)
Lithium-ion battery prices have fallen 20% to US$115 per kWh this year, going below US$100 for electric vehicles (EVs), BloombergNEF said.
NMC111 with equal shares of nickel, manganese and cobalt assumed here. Battery pack price of 130 USD/kWh assumed. Values in brackets show baseline raw material cost assumptions based on monthly average prices from 2010-2020.
For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh. A standard 100 kWh system can cost between $25,000 and $50,000, depending on the components and complexity. What are the costs of commercial battery storage?
The analysis shows that each material only contributes a minor share to total raw material cost. In addition, total raw materials cost only constitute a share of total product price. The cost increase of one raw material will therefore only have a limited impact on lithium-ion battery pack prices.
Let's analyze the numbers, the factors influencing them, and why now is the best time to invest in energy storage. $280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels. For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh.
LFP battery pack prices are most sensitive to copper, aluminium and lithium hydroxide cost. A quadrupling of all three would increase pack prices by ~35%. In contrast, NMC battery pack prices are most sensitive to the cathode materials, nickel and cobalt. A quadrupling of the cost for both would increase NMC battery pack prices by more than 50%.
Mechanical storage technologies have the lowest material cost below 20 USD/kWh due to the low-cost materials employed. Figure 1 - Raw material cost for common electricity storage technologies. Error bars account for variations in each technology's raw material inventory and commodity prices from 2010-2020.
