Grid-scale battery costs can be measured in $/kW or $/kWh terms. Thinking in kW terms is more helpful for modelling grid resiliency. A good rule of thumb is that grid-scale lithium ion batteries will have 4-hours of storage duration, as this minimizes per kW costs and maximizes the revenue potential from power price arbitrage.

Cost per Kilowatt-Hour Comparison. The cost of EV batteries has significantly declined, with the average cost per kilowatt-hour reaching $139 in 2023. By 2025, this is expected to drop further to approximately $113 per kWh, making EVs more accessible to the mass market. Solar Energy Storage Batteries Price Trends in Residential and Commercial Use
Lithium-ion batteries used in energy storage systems face costs between $300 and $600 per kWh. These systems store energy obtained from renewable sources such as solar or wind for later use. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA, 2023), the growth in global energy storage capacity indicates a rising demand for lithium-ion batteries in this sector.

The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time. We use the recent publications to create low, mid, and high cost projections. Projected storage costs are $245/kWh, $326/kWh, and $403/kWh in 2030 and $159/kWh, $226/kWh, and $348/kWh in 2050.
The account requires an annual contract and will renew after one year to the regular list price. The cost of lithium-ion batteries per kWh decreased by 14 percent between 2022 and 2023. Lithium-ion battery price was about 139 U.S. dollars per kWh in 2023.

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.
The projections are developed from an analysis of over 25 publications that consider utility-scale storage costs. The suite of publications demonstrates varied cost reduction for battery storage over time. Figure ES-1 shows the low, mid, and high cost projections developed in this work (on a normalized basis) relative to the published values.
However, not all components of the battery system cost scale directly with the energy capacity (i.e., kWh) of the system (Fu, Remo, and Margolis 2018). For example, the inverter costs scale according to the power capacity (i.e., kW) of the system, and some cost components such as the developer costs can scale with both power and energy.
