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:
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.
The increase in energy consumption, driven by rapid electrification, data consumption and AI, coupled with Australia’s supportive regulatory policies and record low renewable energy capital expenditures (capex) costs, have fuelled a competitive environment for quality BESS projects.
With substantial financial returns from both FCAS and energy arbitrage, supported by robust government initiatives, the future of BESS in Australia looks promising. Continued investment in BESS will be essential to meet renewable energy targets and ensure a stable and resilient energy grid.
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.
