The cost of commercial energy storage depends on factors such as the type of battery technology used, the size of the installation, and location. On average, lithium-ion batteries cost around $132 per kWh. 3. What are the ongoing costs of energy storage systems?
Under declining battery prices, new utility-owned storage projects that are recently installed or under development are expected to cost $1,300–$1,700/kW, except for a few very small projects above that range.
Recent contracts are predominantly for much larger transmission-connected energy storage projects. Earlier energy storage contracts were significantly more expensive across all grid domains, and they generally reflect the cost reductions seen in the global storage industry.
The capital cost of utility-owned energy storage projects dropped from $6,000–$11,500/kW for pre-2015 pilot and demonstration projects, to $1,200–$1,600/kW by the end of 2021.
In 2017–2021, intraday price differentials yielded energy value potential of $4–6/kW-month for a 4-hour storage system participating in the CAISO energy market (without ancillary services focus).
Public information disclosed under the utility applications suggests that the cost of these projects will likely be higher than the 2021–2022 installations due to the expedited timeline, combined with current supply chain challenges and rising raw material costs.
