A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a technology that stores electrical energy in chemical form using rechargeable batteries and converts it back into electricity when required.
Indonesia has recently launched a 5 megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The new energy storage system is a device that enables energy from renewables to be stored and then released based on the needs of the customer.
According to BloombergNEF's 2025 Energy Storage Systems Cost Survey, the global average turnkey BESS price dropped 31% year-over-year to approximately $117/kWh.
Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essentially large batteries housed within storage containers. These systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources or the grid and release it when required.
As of 2024, the price range for residential BESS is typically between R9,500 and R19,000 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). However, the cost per kWh can be more economical for larger installations, benefitting from the economies of scale.
Cost range overview: Installed BESS for residential-scale systems typically falls in the $7,000-$30,000 band, with per-kilowatt-hour prices commonly around $1,000-$1,500 depending on chemistry and vendor.
