This study shows that battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential. By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
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.
The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs. The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time.

For a 4-hour system, most costs were in the $2/kw-yr – $6/kW-yr range for large scale systems. A list of tasks can be found in the Energy Storage Operation and Maintenance Tracker . There may be some owner's tasks or responsibilities that should be accounted for separate from a service agreement.
Although there has been a rapid increase in deployed energy storage, most systems have not reached their end of life and therefore the industry is still gaining experience decommissioning battery systems. In 2017, EPRI estimated end of life costs using the methodology and assumptions laid out in a battery storage disposal and recycling report .
