Given the range of factors that influence the cost of a 1 MW battery storage system, it''s difficult to provide a specific price. However, industry estimates suggest that the cost of a 1 MW lithium-ion battery storage system
EPC firm Power China''s recent 16GWh BESS supply tender has seen very low prices bid, amidst a squeeze of market share from state-owned firms.
The residential electricity price in the Philippines is PHP 0.000 per kWh or USD . These retail prices were collected in December 2024 and include the cost of power, distribution and
In an era where sustainability and energy efficiency are paramount, businesses across the Philippines are seeking innovative ways to optimize their energy consumption and reduce costs. One such solution
As with utility-scale BESS, the cost of a residential BESS is a function of both the power capacity and the energy storage capacity of the system, and both must be considered when estimating system cost. Furthermore, the Distributed

These projects include AS and VRE firming BESS projects. With BESS projects already in operation, and with such a large capacity of BESS projects in the pipeline, the Philippines’ electricity market (WESM) faces the same challenge faced by electricity markets in the US, United Kingdom and Australia.
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
For commercial and industrial companies in the Philippines, BESS provides an opportunity to take control of their energy usage. These systems consist of high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and sophisticated energy management software.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
It shows predictions from the simulation across price duration curves to show the effect – again it can be seen from the scenarios where BESS operates strategically (i.e., exercises market power) how such behaviour will tend to increase higher prices and reduce lower prices.
