The average price of lithium-ion battery packs stands at $152 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), reflecting a 7% increase since 2021. This rise, albeit slight from 2022''s $151/kWh, underscores the ongoing challenges in battery storage economics.
According to figures published this week by solar PV and energy storage market consultancy Sunwiz, 2,468MWh of energy storage was deployed in Australia, with numbers in every segment surpassing the highest annual
Credit: Phonlamai Photo / Shutterstock. The first quarter (Q1) of 2025 has seen a surge in investment for large-scale battery storage in Australia, with six projects worth a total of A$2.4bn ($1.5bn) reaching the financial commitment stage, according to the latest Clean Energy Australia Report 2025.
According to TrinaSolar that cost will total just $400 million. The company clarified to Renew Economy that this $400 million reflects only the first 330MW/1.32GWh stage of the project – but it still appears to set a new low for battery storage project costs in Australia.

* This question is required. According to the report, the largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project to reach financial commitment in Q1 was in Wooreen, Victoria, boasting a storage capacity of 350MW and an energy output of 1.4GWh. South Australia led in terms of capacity, with projects totalling 640MW/1.8GWh.
As noted in this report, there are likely to be 150,000 to 450,000 battery storage systems installed in Australia by 2020. If the high growth scenario eventuates, the Finkel Review will be seen to have significantly underestimated the uptake of battery storage.
