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
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
Modern BESS solutions often include sophisticated software that helps manage energy storage, optimize usage, and extend battery life. This software can be an added expense, either as a one-time purchase or a subscription model. Effective software can lead to cost savings over time by ensuring the system operates at maximum efficiency.
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:
