Modo Energy’s industry survey reveals key Capex, O&M, and connection cost benchmarks for BESS projects.
Tailored to the specific requirement of setting up a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) plant in Texas, United States, the model highlights key cost drivers and forecasts profitability, considering market trends, inflation, and potential fluctuations in raw material prices.
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it’s useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown:
As of most recent estimates, the cost of a BESS by MW is between $200,000 and $450,000, varying by location, system size, and market conditions. This translates to around $200 - $450 per kWh, though in some markets, prices have dropped as low as $150 per kWh. Key Factors Influencing BESS Prices
