Energy storage system costs for four-hour duration systems exceed $300/kWh for the first time since 2017. Rising raw material prices, particularly for lithium and nickel, contribute to increased energy storage costs. Fixed operation and maintenance costs for battery systems are estimated at 2.5% of capital costs.
“What we found is that with the 60% tariff, the cost [of a turnkey energy storage system] increases by 60% compared to 2025, so this is quite a big cost jump if the US actually decided to do so,” Kikuma says.
, the landscape of battery pricing reveals some notable trends that impact the green energy sector. The average price of lithium-ion battery packs stands at $152 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), reflecting a 7% increase since 2021. This rise, albeit slight from 2022’s $151/kWh, underscores the ongoing challenges in battery storage economics.
Energy storage systems (ESS) for four-hour durations exceed $300/kWh, marking the first price hike since 2017, largely driven by escalating raw material costs and supply chain disruptions. Geopolitical issues have intensified these trends, especially concerning lithium and nickel.
We expect to see battery storage prices continue to decline in 2025, even as raw material prices rise, due to the oversupply of battery production. The rapid growth of battery manufacturing, particularly in China and Europe, has outpaced demand, which is exerting downward pressure on pricing.
In 2025, you’re looking at an average cost of about $152 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for lithium-ion battery packs, which represents a 7% increase since 2021. Energy storage systems (ESS) for four-hour durations exceed $300/kWh, marking the first price hike since 2017, largely driven by escalating raw material costs and supply chain disruptions.
