BESS gains edge with declining costs It costs less compared to pumped-hydro storage and Compressed Air Energy Storage. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are
The majority of newly installed large-scale electricity storage systems in recent years utilise lithium-ion chemistries for increased grid resiliency and sustainability. The capacity of lithium
$280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels. For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh. A
Driven by bigger cells sizes and other technology advances, the industry is also increasingly seeing 20-foot BESS containers with 5MWh storage capacity from system integrators and vertically integrated battery manufacturers. Some are even exceeding that capacity, such as CATL with its 6.25MWh Tener solution.
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
Similarly, BNEF found in its annual survey that BESS DC blocks in 4MWh or larger enclosures came in 27% cheaper on average than those in the 2MWh to 4MWh range, at US$128/kWh versus US$176/kWh. The firm’s survey found that the price differential is expected to continue into 2025.
Key Factors Influencing BESS Prices Battery Technology: Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market, particularly Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) chemistries. LFP has become more popular than the other due to its lower cost and longer lifespan.
Increased competition in the commercial ESS space Government incentives (e.g., tax credits in the U.S. and Europe) make systems more affordable. For example, in 2022, a 100 kWh system could cost $45,000. By 2025, similar systems could sell for less than $30,000, depending on configuration.
