In another report, the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) projects that the levelized cost of storage systems in India will reduce from $0.41 (~₹30.8)/kWh in 2018 to $0.17 (~₹12.8)/kWh in 2030. The report adopts a two-pronged approach to estimate the cost of Li-ion based MW scale battery storage systems in India.
On average, the cost of lithium-ion battery cells can range from $0.3 to $0.5 per watt-hour. For a 2MW (2,000 kilowatts) battery storage system, if we assume an average battery cell cost of $0.4 per watt-hour, the cost of the battery alone would be 2,000,000 * $0.4 = $800,000.
The report further notes that capital costs for batteries co-located with storage projects in India would fall to $187 (~₹14,074))/kWh in 2020 and $92 (~₹6,924))/kWh in 2030. The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of standalone BESS is estimated to be ₹7.12/kWh (~$0.095/kWh) by 2020, ₹5.06/kWh (~$0.07/kWh) by 2025, and ₹4.12/kWh (~$0.06/kWh) by 2030.
Second, we undertake a bottom-up analysis to estimate capital costs for MW-scale battery storage projects in India, with projections to 2030. Our analysis suggests that capital costs for batteries co-located with PV would fall to $187/kWh in 2020 and $92/kWh in 2030 (excluding land costs, taxes, and fees).
**Battery Cost**: The battery is the core component of the energy storage system, and its cost accounts for a significant portion of the total cost. As of 2024, the cost of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, has been declining. On average, the cost of lithium-ion battery cells can range from $0.3 to $0.5 per watt-hour.
