Given the range of factors that influence the cost of a 1 MW battery storage system, it’s difficult to provide a specific price. However, industry estimates suggest that the cost of a 1 MW lithium-ion battery storage system can range from $300 to $600 per kWh, depending on the factors mentioned above.
The global average price of lithium-ion battery packs has fallen by 20% year-on-year to USD 115 (EUR 109) per kWh in 2024, marking the steepest decline since 2017, according to BloombergNEF’s annual battery price survey, unveiled on Tuesday. Battery storage system. Image by: Aurora Energy Research.
2024 was a pivotal year for battery energy storage in Great Britain. Batteries began the year with their lowest revenues on record and ended with their highest revenues in two years. It followed 2023, a year where buildout reached record highs and frequency response services saturated, leading to an evolved revenue stack.
While it’s difficult to provide an exact price, industry estimates suggest a range of $300 to $600 per kWh. By staying informed about technological advancements, taking advantage of economies of scale, and utilizing government incentives, you can help reduce the overall cost of your battery storage system.
Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $245/kWh, $326/kWh, and $403/kWh in 2030 and $159/kWh, $226/kWh, and $348/kWh in 2050.
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.
