Around the beginning of this year, BloombergNEF (BNEF) released its annual Battery Storage System Cost Survey, which found that global average turnkey energy storage system prices had fallen 40% from 2023 numbers to US$165/kWh in 2024.
Energy storage system costs for four-hour duration systems exceed $300/kWh for the first time since 2017. Rising raw material prices, particularly for lithium and nickel, contribute to increased energy storage costs. Fixed operation and maintenance costs for battery systems are estimated at 2.5% of capital costs.
As we look ahead to 2024, energy storage system (ESS) costs are expected to undergo significant changes. Currently, the average cost remains above $300/kWh for four-hour duration systems, primarily due to rising raw material prices since 2017.
While grid integration challenges exist, the trend toward affordable renewable solutions offers more freedom for sustainable energy choices. You're looking at an average cost of about $152 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for lithium-ion battery packs, which represents a 7% increase since 2021.
In 2025, lithium-ion battery pack prices averaged $152/kWh, reflecting ongoing challenges, including rising raw material costs and geopolitical tensions, particularly due to Russia’s war in Ukraine. These factors have led to high prices for essential metals like lithium and nickel, impacting the production of energy storage technologies.
In early summer 2023, publicly available prices ranged from 0.8 to 0.9 RMB/Wh ($0.11 to $0.13 USD/Wh), or about $110 to 130/kWh. Pricing initially fell by about a third by the end of summer 2023. Now, as reported by CnEVPost, large EV battery buyers are acquiring cells at 0.4 RMB/Wh, representing a price decline of 50%to 56%.
