More big falls in cost of wind, solar and storage mean they are cheapest form of new energy generation nearly everywhere in the world, and particularly in Australia.
How Much Do Solar Batteries Cost in Australia? Solar batteries generally cost around $1,000 to $2,000 per kilowatt hour (kWh) of storage capacity in Australia. For example, for a 4kWh battery, you''ll probably spend
Australia is home to the world''s first ''big'' battery: the 100 MW Hornsdale Power Reserve, constructed in 2017. Since then, investment in grid-scale battery energy storage in Australia''s National Electricity Market - or NEM - has continued. 25
As shown in Figure 29, battery installations were relatively stable from 2010 to 2015. These were probably largely off-grid systems. There was a substantial rise in installations in 2016 (mostly in the second half of 2016) as the price of lithium-ion batteries plummeted and new battery storage companies entered the Australian market.
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.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates that by 2020, solar batteries will be the dominant form of battery storage. Analysis by the Smart Energy Council from the survey and interviews with market participants for this report suggests battery manufacturing costs are likely to fall in Australia by around 15% each year to 2020.
We’ve been tracking the financial return of batteries in Australia for over a decade and regularly update our analysis of whether batteries are worth it. At the midway point of 2025 was a key turning point in this equation as the federal battery rebate was introduced which offers a discount of around 30% for a typical 10kWh battery.
