Credit: Phonlamai Photo / Shutterstock. The first quarter (Q1) of 2025 has seen a surge in investment for large-scale battery storage in Australia, with six projects worth a total of A$2.4bn ($1.5bn) reaching the financial commitment stage, according to the latest Clean Energy Australia Report 2025.
Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis. Moreover, three more battery storage projects began construction in Q1 2025, adding 840MW/2.9GWh in capacity and energy output.
Per kilowatt of power, batteries in Australia (in both the NEM and WEM) have increased in cost over time. But this is due to more recent projects being longer-duration: while the first Australian batteries were at one hour of duration or less, two-hour and four-hour batteries are now the norm.
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?
This has led to multiple gigawatts of grid-scale battery energy storage systems in various stages of development in Australia. Each of them requires significant investment, with millions of dollars at stake and years-long development timelines. As a result, capital expenditure, or capex, is an important consideration when building a battery.
Drastic reductions in the costs of battery containers will lead to a steady and large decrease in whole-of-system costs. However, continued high costs for labour and land, as well as power capital costs like transformers and grid connections, will moderate capex decreases.
