Technological breakthroughs in lithium-ion batteries, scaled manufacturing in China, and government incentives across 45+ countries are reshaping market dynamics. In Germany, residential ESS installations now cost $800-$1,200/kWh – 34% cheaper than 2020 prices. Understanding energy storage system costs requires analyzing three pillars:
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 provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
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.
