The cost of lithium-ion batteries per kWh decreased by 20 percent between 2023 and 2024. Lithium-ion battery price was about 115 U.S. dollars per kWh in 202.
In order to assess the impact of raw material price changes on product prices, it is important to understand the raw material composition of electricity storage technologies. Figure 2 illustrates this for lithium-ion battery packs by displaying
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.
The largest component of utility-scale battery storage costs lies in the battery cells themselves, typically accounting for 30-40% of total system costs. In the European market, lithium-ion batteries currently range from €200 to €300 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), with prices continuing to decrease as manufacturing scales up and technology improves.
Recent industry analysis reveals that lithium-ion battery storage systems now average €300-400 per kilowatt-hour installed, with projections indicating a further 40% cost reduction by 2030. For utility operators and project developers, these economics reshape the fundamental calculations of grid stabilization and peak demand management.
The primary maintenance costs revolve around routine inspections, component replacements, and software updates for battery management systems. Typically, annual maintenance costs range from 2% to 4% of the initial capital investment.
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.
