This broadly matches up with recent analysis by BloombergNEF which found that BESS costs have fallen 2% in the last six months, as well as anecdotal evidence of reductions after spikes in 2022. Compared to 2022, the national laboratory says the BESS costs will fall 47%, 32% and 16% by 2030 in its low, mid and high cost projections, respectively.
Looking ahead, it’s expected the global BESS market will reach $120-$150 billion by 2030. The increasing level of investment in BESS has prompted competition between all major integrators seeking to capitalize on the opportunity to expand market share and capitalize on demand.
The most important takeaway is that the NREL estimates that BESS costs will start to fall this year in its ‘low’ and ‘mid’ cost projections, with an increase over the next few years forecast in its ‘high’ scenario, visualised in the graph above.
With the reduction in costs, BESS project operators would be prudent to ensure the replacement costs of their assets are accurately valued for 2024 and declare updated values to their insurers. BESS projects operating for several years may have lower replacement costs in 2024 than they had earlier.
Since BESS adds demand when prices are low and adds supply when prices are high, the technology naturally flattens the intraday price curve. If 48 GW of BESS were to be added by 2030, for example, the current value of a 7-Year BESS TB2 would be $1.10/kW-month less compared to if no additional BESS were to be added by 2030.
Rystad expects annual BESS deployments to grow by an average CAGR of 33% between 2022 and 2030, across all market segments including residential, commercial and grid-scale. From 43GWh of deployments last year, the firm is anticipating some 421GWh of new capacity to come online in 2030.
