Four-hour and two-hour energy storage costs
Using the detailed NREL cost models for LIB, we develop base year costs for a 60-MW BESS with storage durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours, shown in terms of energy capacity ($/kWh)

As battery storage costs decline, utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) will likely experience significant decreases in battery pack costs, outpacing other system components,
From 2022 to 2025, energy storage costs have gone down each year. In 2022, a home system cost about $1,000 per kWh. In 2023, the price dropped to $600 per kWh. By
This tends to make costs for longer-duration batteries (e.g., 10 hours) decrease more quickly and shorter-duration batteries (e.g., 2 hours) decrease less quickly into the future.

As we look ahead to 2024, energy storage system (ESS) costs are expected to undergo significant changes. Currently, the average cost remains above $300/kWh for four-hour duration systems, primarily due to rising raw material prices since 2017.
Different places have different energy storage costs. China’s average is $101 per kWh. The US average is $236 per kWh. Knowing the price of energy storage systems helps people plan for steady power. It also helps them handle money risks. As prices drop and technology gets better, people need to know what causes these changes.
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.
Energy storage systems (ESS) for four-hour durations exceed $300/kWh, marking the first price hike since 2017, largely driven by escalating raw material costs and supply chain disruptions. Geopolitical issues have intensified these trends, especially concerning lithium and nickel.
