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.
Today, BESS’s most significant revenue sources in Finland are frequency containment reserves (FCR-N, FCR-D up, and FCR-D down). Prices of FCR-N and FCR-D up have continuously increased for the past few years. Fingrid procures these reserves based on competitive bidding from the yearly and hourly markets.
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.
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:
BESS’s most significant revenue sources in Finland are frequency containment reserves. Spot prices have been highly volatile, making the market favorable for BESS. Continuous, fast-paced trading of energy. Supports the balancing of the power system and brings extra earning opportunities for batteries.
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.
