The inauguration ceremony for the BESS project. Image: EWS AG. EWS AG and MW Storage have expanded a battery storage project in Switzerland to 28MW, making it the country's largest.
For a typical 100 MW/400 MWh utility-scale installation in Europe, hardware and equipment costs currently range from €40 to €60 million. However, these costs are expected to decrease by 8-10% annually as manufacturing efficiency improves and supply chains mature.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
It is being monetised in the Swiss electricity market by both CKW, part of Axpo, and utility Alpiq, the announcement said. The BESS is part of a network of power plants, consumers and batteries, it added. The large-scale BESS market in Switzerland has been relatively quiet with renewable penetration on the country’s grid still relatively low.
This collaborative approach has accelerated manufacturing improvements and cost reductions. Current projections indicate that utility-scale battery storage costs will continue to decrease by 8-10% annually through 2030, driven by increased production volumes and ongoing technological innovations.
