How much does battery storage cost?
Recent data reported by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory indicated that costs for battery storage averaged $477 per kWh for a 240-MWh system. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimated that energy storage installed capacity nearly doubled last year with more than 15 GW in projects installed.
Does battery storage cost reduce over time?
The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs. The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time.
Are battery storage costs based on long-term planning models?
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.
Do utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems have cost and performance projections?
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 projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs.
When are battery cost projections updated?
In , battery cost projections were updated based on publications that focused on utility-scale battery systems (Cole and Frazier ), with updates published in (Cole and Frazier ), (Cole, Frazier, and Augustine ), and (Cole and Karmakar ).
What are battery cost projections for 4-hour lithium-ion systems?
Battery cost projections for 4-hour lithium-ion systems, with values relative to . The high, mid, and low cost projections developed in this work are shown as bold lines. Published projections are shown as gray lines. Figure values are included in the Appendix.
