Iraq's electricity crisis has reached a critical point. With daily power outages lasting 8-12 hours in major cities like Baghdad and Basra, businesses and households are increasingly turning to lithium-ion energy storage systems.. Lithium-ion batteries dominate 65% of commercial projects, thanks to plunging global prices [1]. Lead-acid batteries still rule households (cheap upfront costs, but oof – those replacement bills!). Solar hybrid systems with storage have grown 200% since 2022 [3]. Fun fact: A Baghdad supplier told. . The average price of lithium-ion battery packs dropped by 20% in 2024 compared to the previous year. This drop is attributed to the abundance of raw materials and intense market competition. These global cost reductions may translate into lower prices for imported solar storage systems in Iraq. [pdf]

Solar panels are the main equipment used in Cyprus to generate solar power. There are plenty of suppliers and manufacturers locally but most are obtained globally. . Cyprus is abundant when it comes to solar power sources, particularly more than some parts of Europe. The solar power capacity in Europe is estimated to be roughly 7%. . Cyprus has easy access to the sea, which gives it logistical advantage when it comes to the transport of essential solar power equipment. The major seaports in Cyprus. [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.
