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:
BloombergNEF recently noted a global average price for BESS (without PCS or EMS) of US$125 per kWh, for example. Kubik suggested the tender’s requirements implied it covered an AC block solution. Energy-Storage.news looked at the move towards PCS-integrated AC blocks in a recent article (Premium access).
Basically the sigmoid of cost curve reduction had reached its shift in the curve to flattening again. And now LFP BESS are coming in at an average of $66 per kWh. Of course, that’s in China.
A BESS project in China deployed by Hyperstrong, the largest system integrator in the domestic market. Image: Hyperstrong. China has reached well over 70GW of installed BESS capacity, while DC block prices appear to be ‘stable’, a local metals price agency said.
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.
Including all energy storage, its total installed capacity is now 137GW, meaning that ‘new energy storage’, mostly BESS, now exceeds its pumped hydro capacity. That is thanks to 43.7GW/109.8GWh of ‘new energy storage’ that was installed in 2024, CNESA said.
