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:
It is nonetheless still eye-opening to note just how big those differences in cost are. The average for a turnkey system in China including 1-hour, 2-hour and 4-hour duration BESS was just US$101/kWh. In the US, the average was US$236/kWh and in Europe US$275/kWh, more than double China’s average cost.
The cost of BESS has fallen significantly over the past decade, with more precipitous drops in recent years: This is nearly a 70% reduction in three years, owing to falling battery pack prices (now as low as $60-70/kWh in China), increased deployment, and improved efficiency.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
Forecasted cost reductions for small and medium sized systems of ~26% for small-scale Li-ion and ~23% for small -scale lead acid by 2035 to end- users will not make a significant change in the proposition of BESS for these small-scale projects.
Strategies t o pursue this include: • Enable larger volume procurement to get access to lower factory pricing and more direct value chains with a lower overall mark-up. • Reduction of transportation cost, which represent up to a third of BESS installed cost. • Standardisation of BESS offerings to lower the balance of plant cost.
