Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $245/kWh, $326/kWh, and $403/kWh in 2030 and $159/kWh, $226/kWh, and $348/kWh in 2050.
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
You can add all of the cost lines together (in $) and divide them by the total power rating in kW (yielding a $/kW metric). Or you can add all of the cost lines together (in $) and divide them by the total energy storage in kWh (yielding a $/kWh metric).
Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time. Figure ES-1 shows the suite of projected cost reductions (on a normalized basis) collected from the literature (shown in gray) as well as the low, mid, and high cost projections developed in this work (shown in black).

Prices remained at around $6,500/MWh for 80 hours because of the failure to bring additional supply to the grid. This contributed to the 700 deaths and $38 billion in excess energy costs for ratepayers. In a less extreme case, in July 2022, a record heat wave caused the Electric Reliability Council of Texas North prices to spike to an average of $182/MWh …

Current Year (2021): The 2021 cost breakdown for the 2022 ATB is based on (Ramasamy et al., 2021) and is in 2020$. Within the ATB Data spreadsheet, costs are separated into energy and power cost estimates, which allows capital costs to be constructed for durations other than 4 hours according to the following equation:
The energy price cap is the maximum amount energy suppliers can charge you for each unit of energy and standing charge if you''re on a standard variable tariff. Between 1 January to 31 March 2025 the energy price cap is set at £1,738 per year for a typical household who use electricity and gas and pay by Direct Debit.

Grid-scale battery costs can be measured in $/kW or $/kWh terms. Thinking in kW terms is more helpful for modelling grid resiliency. A good rule of thumb is that grid-scale lithium ion batteries will have 4-hours of storage duration, as this minimizes per kW costs and maximizes the revenue potential from power price arbitrage.
