What drives EPC costs?

Construction costs are the area of most variability for overall EPC costs and hold out the promise for greatest areas of cost reduction. These costs are driven by where and how the unit is deployed and the experience of those doing the work. The deployment location of the ESS is the first-level driver for construction costs.

How much does EPC cost?

EPC included in 50% markup and 25% installation. Project development included in 50% markup and 25% installation. Grid integration including transformers, meters, safety disconnects, and nominal labor costs added at $19.89/kW, same as for 100 MW lithium-ion battery system.

What are the different types of energy storage costs?

The cost categories used in the report extend across all energy storage technologies to allow ease of data comparison. Direct costs correspond to equipment capital and installation, while indirect costs include EPC fee and project development, which include permitting, preliminary engineering design, and the owner’s engineer and financing costs.

How much does energy storage cost?

Electricity Energy Storage Technology Options: A White Paper Primer on Applications, Costs and Benefits. EPRI-1020676, Final Report, December 2010, Electric Power Research Institute, Palo Alto, California. RedT Energy Storage. 2018. “Gen 2 machine pricing starting at $490/kWh.”

Are EPC fees based on direct capital costs?

For the conventional LAES, with liquid air and hot and cold storage, assumptions were made regarding unit energy and power costs such that direct capital costs including EPC fee were equal to the costs provided, hence these costs may have some unavoidable inaccuracies (Riley, 2021).

What are energy storage cost metrics?

Cost metrics are approached from the viewpoint of the final downstream entity in the energy storage project, ultimately representing the final project cost. This framework helps eliminate current inconsistencies associated with specific cost categories (e.g., energy storage racks vs. energy storage modules).
