Around the beginning of this year, BloombergNEF (BNEF) released its annual Battery Storage System Cost Survey, which found that global average turnkey energy storage system prices had fallen 40% from 2023 numbers to US$165/kWh in 2024.
In 2024, the average global prices of lithium-ion batteries dropped by 20%, reaching $115 per kWh. For electric vehicle batteries, the price fell below $100 per kWh Why Are Lithium Battery Prices Falling?
NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt) cells for ternary and pouch batteries had an average price of 0.46 CNY/Wh ($0.065/Wh) and 0.48 CNY/Wh ($0.068/Wh), respectively. The most significant drop was in LFP cells for stationary storage systems, which saw a 6.4% monthly decrease, reaching a price of 0.35 CNY/Wh ($0.049/Wh).
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:
Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular due to their high energy density, efficiency, and long life cycle. However, they are also more expensive than other types. Prices have been falling, with lithium-ion costs dropping by about 85% in the last decade, but they still represent the largest single expense in a BESS.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
