Over the past 3 years, the average energy storage system price has dropped by 28% worldwide. What''s driving this downward trend? Technological breakthroughs in lithium-ion batteries,
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
Energy storage costs are not forgotten in the report either. Citing BloombergNEF data, cost per kWh have fallen to $165/kWh in 2023, down 40% from 2023, and half of the $375/kWh with data on the ongoing falls in costs
According to a December 2023 publication on the InvestChile website, the country had 23 approved energy storage projects with a total of 3,000 MW of capacity. Chile is exploring a variety of solutions to keep abreast of the changing energy demand landscape ranging from BESS to innovative projects using CO2.
With transmission lines at overcapacity and permitting delays slowing the development of new grid infrastructure, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have surged as a profitable alternative for Chilean power producers.
In fact, batteries charged at nearly $0/MWh during the day in the sunny, northern desert regions of Chile, sell energy at night for over $100/MWh. Although projects such as Engie’s BESS Coya are already enjoying these large spreads, this capacity payment will partially de-risk Chile’s dependence on volatile, but still profitable, merchant revenues.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
Chile is exploring a variety of solutions to keep abreast of the changing energy demand landscape ranging from BESS to innovative projects using CO2. In March 2024, BESS Coya, the largest battery-based energy storage system in Latin America, started operations.
Chile has an operational installed capacity of approximately 1GW in batteries, and another 3GW is under construction. Battery storage has been largely financed by bank lending in recent years, but we believe larger projects could increase the scope for bond financing.
