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-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
Using the detailed NREL cost models for LIB, we develop base year costs for a 60-MW BESS with storage durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours, shown in terms of energy capacity ($/kWh) and power capacity ($/kW) in Figures 1 and 2, A Goldman Sachs report from February 2024 indicates an average price of $115 per kWh for EV batteries.
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
It is nonetheless still eye-opening to note just how big those differences in cost are. The average for a turnkey system in China including 1-hour, 2-hour and 4-hour duration BESS was just US$101/kWh. In the US, the average was US$236/kWh and in Europe US$275/kWh, more than double China’s average cost.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
The disbursement of funds will extend up to 2030-31 in 5 tranches. The cost of BESS system is anticipated to be in the range of ₹ 2.40 to ₹ 2.20 Crore/MWh during the period 2023-26 for development of BESS capacity of 4,000 MWh, which translates into Capital Cost of ₹ 9,400 Crores with a Budget support of ₹ 3,760 Crores.
