In 2025, the typical cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system, which includes the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, is in the following range: $280 - $580 per kWh
Assuming a similar capex cost to Li-ion-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) at $300/kWh, sodium-ion batteries’ 57% improvement rate will see them increasingly more affordable than Li-ion cells, reaching around $10/kWh by 2028.
Scalability: The scalability of sodium-ion battery production promises substantial economies of scale. As production ramps up, the per-unit cost of batteries is expected to decrease, making them an even more attractive option for large-scale energy storage and electric vehicles.
With costs fast declining, sodium-ion batteries look set to dominate the future of long-duration energy storage, finds AI-based analysis that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data. Sodium-ion batteries’ rapid development could see long-duration energy storage (LDES) enter mainstream use as early as 2027.
The cost of the BMS can account for about 5% to 10% of the total battery storage system cost. For a 2MW system, if we assume a BMS cost ratio of 8%, and the total system cost excluding the BMS is $800,000 (as calculated for the battery cost above), then the cost of the BMS would be $800,000 * 0.08 = $64,000.
The average cost for sodium-ion cells in 2024 is $87 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), marginally cheaper than lithium-ion cells at $89/kWh.
In total, the cost of a 2MW battery storage system can range from approximately $1 million to $1.5 million or more, depending on the factors mentioned above. It is important to note that these are only rough estimates, and the actual cost can vary depending on the specific requirements and characteristics of each project.
