Transitioning a city in the Chicago area to rely significantly on solar power, complemented by substantial battery storage, is a complex but increasingly viable endeavor.
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
In 2025, lithium-ion battery pack prices averaged $152/kWh, reflecting ongoing challenges, including rising raw material costs and geopolitical tensions, particularly due to Russia’s war in Ukraine. These factors have led to high prices for essential metals like lithium and nickel, impacting the production of energy storage technologies.
The average price of lithium-ion battery packs is $152/kWh, reflecting a 7% increase since 2021. Energy storage system costs for four-hour duration systems exceed $300/kWh for the first time since 2017. Rising raw material prices, particularly for lithium and nickel, contribute to increased energy storage costs.
For Li-Ion battery storage technology, the cost projections for recent years have been higher than the observed costs in the global market for the year 2023 (Fig. 5).
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.
A big driver of the fall in BESS costs will be a decline in the costs of the battery cells and packs themselves, which can make up half the cost of a lithium-ion BESS.
Notable outliers in the cost projections for this technology are data for the IEA's global perspective and the NREL's projection for the U.S. [, ], being higher than the majority of projected cost ranges during the studied timeframe. 3.2. Levelised costs 3.2.1. Utility-scale PV
