				    Lithium-ion battery prices have fallen 20% to US$115 per kWh this year, going below US$100 for electric vehicles (EVs), BloombergNEF said.
				    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

				    In this second instalment of our series analysing the Volta Foundation 2024 Battery Report, we explore the continued rise of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
				    The cost of lithium-ion batteries per kWh decreased by 20 percent between 2023 and 2024. Lithium-ion battery price was about 115 U.S. dollars per kWh in 202.
				    The cost per MW of a BESS is set by a number of factors, including battery chemistry, installation complexity, balance of system (BOS) materials, and government
				    On average, considering all the above factors, the total cost of a 1 MW lithiumion battery could be in the range of $200,000 to $400,000 or even higher, depending on the specific requirements
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
NMC111 with equal shares of nickel, manganese and cobalt assumed here. Battery pack price of 130 USD/kWh assumed. Values in brackets show baseline raw material cost assumptions based on monthly average prices from 2010-2020.
The analysis shows that each material only contributes a minor share to total raw material cost. In addition, total raw materials cost only constitute a share of total product price. The cost increase of one raw material will therefore only have a limited impact on lithium-ion battery pack prices.
Taking average raw material cost, NMC is 66% more expensive than LFP. Mechanical storage technologies have the lowest material cost below 20 USD/kWh due to the low-cost materials employed. Figure 1 - Raw material cost for common electricity storage technologies.
LFP battery pack prices are most sensitive to copper, aluminium and lithium hydroxide cost. A quadrupling of all three would increase pack prices by ~35%. In contrast, NMC battery pack prices are most sensitive to the cathode materials, nickel and cobalt. A quadrupling of the cost for both would increase NMC battery pack prices by more than 50%.
Mechanical storage technologies have the lowest material cost below 20 USD/kWh due to the low-cost materials employed. Figure 1 - Raw material cost for common electricity storage technologies. Error bars account for variations in each technology's raw material inventory and commodity prices from 2010-2020.
