This report analyses the winning bid price trends of energy storage systems and turnkey EPCs in China’s utility-scale and C&I energy storage market in H2 2024.. BNEF’s bottom-up battery cost model shows how close average prices are now to estimated manufacturing costs, indicating that margins for vendors are shrinking.. Battery price index by selected region, 2020-2023 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.. China has emerged as a global leader in energy storage technology, particularly in the production of Floor Standing Energy Storage Battery. These advanced systems are essential for industrial, commercial, and residential energy storage, offering high efficiency, scalability, and sustainability.. Explore utility scale battery storage cost per kWh trends in China, recent price drops, and future outlooks for 2025. [pdf]
And again, crazy numbers coming out of China in terms of stationary energy storage, costs, not just at the cell level but at the system level. At a system level for turnkey system, you’re looking at something like $135 per kilowatt-hour. So again, crazy low considering that 18 months ago the average price of a cell was about $135 per kilowatt-hour.
Now, you can get an entire storage system in China. But again, even those spot markets in China getting to 35, sorry, the $50 per kilowatt-hour, it’s low in China. Some people can access that. That’s not a price that’s necessarily going to be reflected if you’re a stationary storage developer in Europe or the US.
In this episode, Shayle talks to James Frith, principal at the battery investment firm Volta Energy Technologies. He argues that there are multiple factors behind Chinese manufacturers’ efficiency and speed, like the know-how to operate plants with high yields, easy access to suppliers, and ability to squeeze margins to near zero.
BloombergNEF put out a stat that I’ve heard cited like many times since then, a couple months ago that LFP battery cells in China on the spot market were selling for $53 a kilowatt-hour. Just truly bananas cheap relative to what you would’ve expected even just a couple of years ago.
And so again, the only things that we’re really changing here are those OpEx numbers and CapEx again, which will come onto in a moment, but the cost of manufacturing in the US is about $75 per kilowatt-hour. So it’s only 8% higher if we’re changing those common variables that you would be thinking about if you’re moving from China to the US.
And so on the other side of that, there would still be a few really, really large Chinese PV manufacturers who just had the capacity and the capital and the support to withstand a temporary crash in prices and removal of margin effectively. But Western manufacturers really struggled with that and just didn’t have the capacity to weather the storm.

We heard from system integrator, developer and EPC delegates at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London last month about the implications of falling BESS prices.. We heard from system integrator, developer and EPC delegates at the Energy Storage Summit EU in London last month about the implications of falling BESS prices.. As of most recent estimates, the cost of a BESS by MW is between $200,000 and $450,000, varying by location, system size, and market conditions. This translates to around $200 - $450 per kWh, though in some markets, prices have dropped as low as $150 per kWh.
