How much does a turnkey energy storage system cost?

You must login to view this content. Turnkey energy storage system prices in BloombergNEF’s 2023 survey range from $135/kWh to $580/kWh, with a global average for a four-hour system falling 24% from last year to $263/kWh.

Which energy storage technologies are included in the 2020 cost and performance assessment?

The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.

Why are energy storage prices so high?

Several internal and external factors have contributed to sharp price increases for grid-scale Li-ion energy storage systems (ESS) over the past 2 years. With limited options for mature, clean, dispatchable technologies and with fast-approaching clean electric mandates, current demand among many utilities has proven to be inelastic.

How is the storage market changing?

The storage market enters a new dynamic era, with multiple countries installing high volumes, driven by past capacity market auctions (Italy), storage auctions (Spain, Greece, Hungary), innovation funds (Germany) and attractive revenues in the short-term (Sweden).

Which battery chemistries are best for energy storage?

Although most batteries in the energy storage market are lead-acid, other battery chemistries, such as lithium-ion (Li-ion), sodium, and flow batteries, are expected to provide additional benefits, such as increased durability or higher energy capacity for longer-term storage or other specific applications.

Are energy prices back on a downward trajectory in 2022?

Following short-term increase in 2022, prices are back on a downwards trajectory. Around 300 MW of FoM projects co-located with renewables got connected in 2023, mainly in Germany. This is around 40% of the cumulative capacity of projects co-located with renewables.
