How containerised BESS costs change over time. Grid connection costs. Balance of Plant (BOP) costs. Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. And the time taken for projects to progress from construction to commercial operations. Other variables add costs to projects.
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
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.
“The cost of BESS system is anticipated to be in the range of ₹2.40 to ₹2.20 crore per MWh during the period 2023-26 for development of BESS capacity of 4,000 MWh, which translates into capital cost of ₹9,400 crore with a budget support of ₹3,760 crore,” Power Minister R K Singh said in a written response to a query in Lok sabha.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
The cost of BESS has fallen from ₹79 lakh per megawatt-hour (MWh) in 2015 to just ₹17 lakh/MWh in 2025, the report noted. Ember’s analysis says the reduction, coupled with a fivefold increase in potential revenues from market participation, has made merchant BESS a commercially viable and bankable asset for the electricity grid.
