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.
Downstream, as reported by Energy-Storage.news, recent tenders in China have been held in which winning bids for BESS projects as low as US$66/kWh were entered, which Kikuma says were in broadly in line with BNEF’s numbers.
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.
Though complex and time-intensive to negotiate, often taking several months to a year, these agreements are quietly becoming the preferred model for BESS projects over 100 MW. In Germany, Nofar Energy secured €86.5 million for a 104.5 MW/209 MWh storage project through a seven-year tolling agreement.

Moving forward, Greece is abandoning subsidizing BESS via auctions. Instead, the country has recently launched a new program for 4.7 GW of unsibsidized BESS which will be offered priority grid connections on a merchant basis without subsidy support.
