MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
A recent study on distributed battery energy storage systems in New Zealand shows that if such systems are appropriately configured, they can respond faster than current providers of instantaneous reserve, recovering frequency faster and stabilising the system with fewer oscillations (Transpower, 2019a). 49.8 Hz and 50.2 Hz.
The lowest price paid was $8,000 for a 6 kWh battery, which implies that smaller systems can be more accessible for those on a budget. The best value was $9,000 for a 9.6 kWh battery, equating to $937.50 per kWh. Indicating the batteries below $1000/kWh can be hunted down in the NZ market. What’s Next for Solar Prices in 2025?
