In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems.
The average export price for energy storage device cabinets in the latest year is approximately USD 3,167 per unit. Prices vary significantly based on design complexity, safety features, and technological integration, with high-end, IoT-enabled cabinets commanding premium prices.
This data-file captures battery Gigafactory capex costs, by region, by chemistry, by company and over time, by looking across a sample of 40 major projects. Capex costs average $80/kWh-pa of capacity.
Energy storage system costs for four-hour duration systems exceed $300/kWh for the first time since 2017. Rising raw material prices, particularly for lithium and nickel, contribute to increased energy storage costs.
Professional installation labor is a significant variable, typically adding between $1,000 and $3,000 to the total cost, though this can increase considerably for complex installations or in regions with higher labor rates.
The operating and maintenance costs of a 1 MWh BESS include the cost of electricity for charging the batteries, the cost of cooling and other ancillary systems, and the cost of maintenance and repair services.
