These international players are placing cost pressure on European BESS OEMs by driving down prices. In early 2024, the price of residential BESS offered to end consumers in Europe ranged widely, from €400 to more than €1,200 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) (Exhibit 2).
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:
In early 2024, the price of residential BESS offered to end consumers in Europe ranged widely, from €400 to more than €1,200 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) (Exhibit 2). Historically, European OEMs built trust-based brands by highlighting their “made in Europe” status and rode the first-mover wave over the past ten years.
Furthermore, rising interest rates and the general decline of the European economy mean consumers are more conservative when it comes to making investments in energy alternatives, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and BESS, which can easily cost up to €30,000.
It is nonetheless still eye-opening to note just how big those differences in cost are. The average for a turnkey system in China including 1-hour, 2-hour and 4-hour duration BESS was just US$101/kWh. In the US, the average was US$236/kWh and in Europe US$275/kWh, more than double China’s average cost.
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.
