Recent industry analysis reveals that lithium-ion battery storage systems now average €300-400 per kilowatt-hour installed, with projections indicating a further 40% cost reduction by 2030. For utility operators and project developers, these economics reshape the fundamental calculations of grid stabilization and peak demand management.
The largest component of utility-scale battery storage costs lies in the battery cells themselves, typically accounting for 30-40% of total system costs. In the European market, lithium-ion batteries currently range from €200 to €300 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), with prices continuing to decrease as manufacturing scales up and technology improves.
This study shows that battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential. By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
