How much does energy storage cost?
Different places have different energy storage costs. China’s average is $101 per kWh. The US average is $236 per kWh. Knowing the price of energy storage systems helps people plan for steady power. It also helps them handle money risks. As prices drop and technology gets better, people need to know what causes these changes.
Are battery storage costs based on long-term planning models?
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
Does battery storage cost reduce over time?
The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs. The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time.
How much does a kWh battery cost?
A normal 11.4 kWh battery costs about $9,041. Bigger systems, like a 100 kWh setup, can cost $30,000 or more. In , the cost per kWh is between $200 and $400. The price changes based on the technology and where you live. Lithium-ion batteries, like LFP and NMC, are the most common.
How much does a 4 hour battery system cost?
Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $147/kWh, $243/kWh, and $339/kWh in and $108/kWh, $178/kWh, and $307/kWh in (values in $).
Why are battery system costs expressed in $/kWh?
By expressing battery system costs in $/kWh, we are deviating from other power generation technologies such as combustion turbines or solar photovoltaic plants where capital costs are usually expressed as $/kW. We use the units of $/kWh because that is the most common way that battery system costs have been expressed in published material to date.
