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.
Average Installed Cost per kWh in 2025 In today’s market, the installed cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system — including the battery pack, Battery Management System (BMS), Power Conversion System (PCS), and installation — typically ranges from: $280 to $580 per kWh for small to medium-sized commercial projects.
The current cost of compressed air energy storage systems is between US$500-1,000/kWh. Supercapacitor energy storage cost: Supercapacitor is a high-power density energy storage device, and its cost is mainly composed of hardware costs, including equipment such as capacitors and control systems.
