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.
What is included in the battery storage update?
This battery storage update includes summary data and visualizations on the capacity of large-scale battery storage systems by region and ownership type, battery storage co-located systems, applications served by battery storage, battery storage installation costs, and small-scale battery storage trends.
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).
How much does a 4 hour battery system cost?
Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $147/kWh, $243/kWh, and $339/kWh in 2035 and $108/kWh, $178/kWh, and $307/kWh in 2050 (values in 2024$).
So, how much does a 100kW energy storage cabinet actually cost? Well, if you're expecting a one-number answer, prepare for a plot twist.
