4 FAQs about How is the intermediary fee for solar-powered communication cabinet batteries charged

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 projected cost reductions for battery storage vary over time?

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).

Do longer duration batteries have a lower capital cost?

As expected, on a $/kWh basis, longer duration batteries have a lower capital cost, and on a $/kW basis, shorter duration batteries have a lower capital cost. Figure 7 also demonstrates why it is critical to cite the duration whenever providing a capital cost in $/kWh or $/kW. Figure 7.

How much does electricity cost in 2024?

The 2024 starting point of $334/kWh is derived from the bottom-up cost model described in Section 2.2.
