Energy storage system costs stay above $300/kWh for a turnkey four-hour duration system. In 2022, rising raw material and component prices led to the first increase in energy storage system costs since BNEF started its ESS cost survey in 2017. Costs are expected to remain high in 2023 before dropping in 2024.

Let’s look at a rough breakdown of the average costs associated with a commercial battery storage system: Battery Costs: Battery costs vary significantly based on the type and size. For lithium-ion batteries, the price typically ranges from $400 to $800 per kWh. Lead-acid options are generally lower, while flow batteries can be more expensive.

The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) ($/kWh) metric compares the true cost of owning and operating various storage assets. LCOS is the average price a unit of energy output would need to be sold at to cover all project costs (e.g., taxes, financing, operations and maintenance, and the cost to charge the storage system).

Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
