But here''s the kicker – while lithium-ion systems now average $280-$350 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) globally, upfront costs for grid-scale projects still range from $1.2 million to $2.1 million per MW
In this second instalment of our series analysing the Volta Foundation 2024 Battery Report, we explore the continued rise of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
With a growing demand for energy storage systems to integrate renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, investors can explore opportunities in supplying battery storage technologies, developing grid-scale energy storage
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
NMC111 with equal shares of nickel, manganese and cobalt assumed here. Battery pack price of 130 USD/kWh assumed. Values in brackets show baseline raw material cost assumptions based on monthly average prices from 2010-2020.
Taking average raw material cost, NMC is 66% more expensive than LFP. Mechanical storage technologies have the lowest material cost below 20 USD/kWh due to the low-cost materials employed. Figure 1 - Raw material cost for common electricity storage technologies.
NMC refers to NMC111 with equal shares of nickel, manganese, and cobalt. In order to assess the impact of raw material price changes on product prices, it is important to understand the raw material composition of electricity storage technologies.
Mechanical storage technologies have the lowest material cost below 20 USD/kWh due to the low-cost materials employed. Figure 1 - Raw material cost for common electricity storage technologies. Error bars account for variations in each technology's raw material inventory and commodity prices from 2010-2020.
LFP battery pack prices are most sensitive to copper, aluminium and lithium hydroxide cost. A quadrupling of all three would increase pack prices by ~35%. In contrast, NMC battery pack prices are most sensitive to the cathode materials, nickel and cobalt. A quadrupling of the cost for both would increase NMC battery pack prices by more than 50%.
