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.
By expressing battery system costs in $/kWh, we are deviating from other power generation technologies such as combustion turbines or solar photovoltaic plants where capital costs are usually expressed as $/kW. We use the units of $/kWh because that is the most common way that battery system costs have been expressed in published material to date.
Because of this, Modo Energy surveyed the battery community - to produce this battery cost benchmark. If you finance, own, or develop battery energy storage systems, you can use this data to support procurement and sense-check financial models. To produce this benchmark, Modo Energy surveyed various market participants in Great Britain.
NREL utilizes the Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) (Ho et al. 2021) for capacity expansion modeling, and the battery cost projections developed here are designed to be used in those models. Additionally, the projections are intended to inform the cost projections published in the Annual Technology Baseline (NREL 2024).
The $/kWh costs we report can be converted to $/kW costs simply by multiplying by the assumed 4-hour duration (e.g., a $300/kWh, 4-hour battery would have a power capacity cost of $1200/kW). To develop cost projections, storage costs were normalized to their 2024 value such that each projection started with a value of 1 in 2024.
