This work incorporates base year battery costs and breakdowns from (Ramasamy et al., 2022) (the same as the 2023 ATB), which works from a bottom-up cost model. 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 ...
Statistics show the cost of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (li-ion BESS) reduced by around 80% over the recent decade. As of early 2024, the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of li-ion BESS declined to RMB 0.3-0.4/kWh, even close to RMB 0.2/kWh for some li-ion BESS projects.
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).
The improvements we’ve seen in battery technologies are not limited to lower costs. As Ziegler and Trancik show, the energy density of cells has also been increasing. Energy density measures the amount of electrical energy you can store in a liter (or unit) of battery. In 1991 you could only get 200 watt-hours (Wh) of capacity per liter of battery.
The study focuses on solar and battery storage, but the researchers note that wind power, heat pumps, and other clean technologies are also seeing a sharp drop in prices, too. Technological advances are making solar and battery storage smarter and more efficient.
Our study is intended to provide input for this. For example, the study notes, battery storage already cost less than $100 per kilowatt hour, which is significantly less than was predicted for 2030 in a study two years ago. They assert that the price premium for battery storage will drop from 100% at present to only 28% in 2030.

The Rocky Mountain Institute''s December report, "X-Change: Batteries – The Battery Domino Effect," presents a chart mirroring the trends seen in solar panels over the last fourteen years. Looking back thirty or forty years, the costs of both batteries and solar panels have decreased by 99% or more for their base units.
In early summer 2023, publicly available prices ranged from CNY 0.8 ($0.11)/Wh to CNY 0.9/Wh, or about $110/kWh to $130/kWh. Pricing initially fell by about about one-third by the end of summer...
BNEF expects more segments to reach price parity in the years ahead as lower-cost batteries become more widely available outside of China. On a regional basis, …
Dan Shreve of Clean Energy Associates looks at the pricing dynamics helping propel battery storage (BESS) technology to ever greater heights.
Battery storage costs have changed rapidly over the past decade. In 2016, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) published a set of cost projections for utility-scale lithium-ion batteries (Cole et al. 2016). Those 2016 projections relied heavily on electric vehicle battery projections because utility-scale battery projections were largely unavailable for durations …
For stationary storage systems, the average rack price was down 19% compared to 2023, at USD 125 per kWh. Although the industry has benefited from low raw material prices, these could rise in the coming years due to geopolitical tensions, tariffs on battery metals and low prices delaying new mining and refining projects. However, higher ...

Current Year (2021): The 2021 cost breakdown for the 2022 ATB is based on (Ramasamy et al., 2021) and is in 2020$. Within the ATB Data spreadsheet, costs are separated into energy and power cost estimates, which allows capital costs to be constructed for durations other than 4 hours according to the following equation:. Total System Cost ($/kW) = Battery Pack Cost …
By definition, a Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is a type of energy storage solution, a collection of large batteries within a container, that can store and discharge electrical energy upon request. The system serves as a buffer between the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (that only provide energy when it''s sunny or windy) and the electricity grid, ensuring a …
