4 FAQs about [Utility scale ESS procurement cost comparison 2026]

What is the Energy Storage pricing survey (ESPs)?

3. Purpose The annual Energy Storage Pricing Survey (ESPS) is designed to provide a reference system price to market participants, government officials, and financial industry participants for a variety of energy storage technologies at different power and energy ratings.

Why do we use a single cost for 2024?

Although there is uncertainty in the 2024 cost (which is discussed later), we use a single cost for 2024 for convenience as we apply these costs in our long-term planning models (applying the same costs in 2024 means that the 2024 solution will not change as we shift from a “high” to a “mid” to a “low” cost projection for storage).

Why are the 4 hour cost projections lower in 2024?

Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the comparison of the projections developed in this work relative to the projections that were produced in our last update (Cole and Karmakar 2023). The 4-hour cost projections in this report are much lower in 2024 primarily due to the updated initial cost from the bottom-up cost model used in this work.

How much will cost increase in 2026?

In the near term (by 2026), some projections show costs increasing up to 10% while others show substantial declines of up to 23%.
