Each year, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) and its national laboratory partners analyze cost data for U.S. solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to develop cost benchmarks. These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs.
To accurately reflect the changing cost of new electric power generators in the Annual Energy Outlook 2025 (AEO2025), EIA commissioned Sargent & Lundy (S&L) to evaluate the overnight capital cost and performance characteristics for 19 electric generator types. The following report represents S&L’s.

As of 2024, the global energy storage market has grown 40% year-over-year, with lithium-ion battery prices dropping like a post-Christmas sale – from $1,400/kWh in 2010 to just $89/kWh today [8]. But here's the million-dollar question: "What's the real cost breakdown for building these modern-day. Are mechanical energy storage systems cost-efficient?The results indicated that mechanical energy storage systems, namely PHS and CAES, are still the most cost-efficient options for bulk energy storage. PHS and CAES approximately add 54 and 71 €/MWh respectively, to the cost of charging power. The project׳s environmental permitting costs and contingency may increase the costs, however.
How much does a non-battery energy storage system cost?Non-battery systems, on the other hand, range considerably more depending on duration. Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours.
What are energy related costs?Energy related costs include all the costs undertaken to build energy storage banks or reservoirs, expressed per unit of stored or delivered energy (€/kWh). In this manner, cost of PCS and storage device are decoupled to estimate the contribution of each part more explicitly in TCC calculations.
How much power can a battery storage system provide?This case consists of a utility-scale, lithium-ion, battery energy storage system (BESS) with a 150 MW power rating and 600 MWh energy rating; the system can provide 150 MW of power for a four-hour duration.
What are PCs and energy related costs?PCS costs of the EES system are typically explained per unit of power capacity (€/kW). Energy related costs include all the costs undertaken to build energy storage banks or reservoirs, expressed per unit of stored or delivered energy (€/kWh).
How much does gravity based energy storage cost?Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours. Li-ion LFP offers the lowest installed cost ($/kWh) for battery systems across many of the power capacity and energy duration combinatio
