The cost of commercial energy storage depends on factors such as the type of battery technology used, the size of the installation, and location. On average, lithium-ion batteries cost around $132 per kWh. 3. What are the ongoing costs of energy storage systems?
When considering energy storage costs, it’s crucial to take both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) into account. CAPEX includes the cost of the battery system itself, installation, permits, and other infrastructure needed for the system’s operation.
Here’s a brief overview of the most common: Lithium-ion batteries are the dominant energy storage solution in most commercial applications, thanks to their high energy density, scalability, and decreasing costs. As of 2024, lithium-ion batteries cost an average of $132 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), a significant decrease from the previous decade.
Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
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.
Various government incentives, including tax credits and rebates, can significantly reduce the upfront costs of energy storage systems. In the U.S., for example, the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) can offer businesses a tax break of up to 26% of the total cost of their energy storage system.
