The scale of the reduction suggests that in addition to the falling cost of batteries—BNEF’s recent Lithium-ion Battery Price Survey found that battery pack prices fell 20% year-on-year to 2024, again the biggest drop recorded to date—energy storage system providers are working on cost reduction in other areas, Kikuma said.
Market intelligence firm Clean Energy Associates (CEA) said in its own ESS Price Forecasting Report, produced quarterly, that the 5MWh units are easier to ship, and cheaper on a kilowatt-hour basis than their less energy dense counterparts.
Driven by bigger cells sizes and other technology advances, the industry is also increasingly seeing 20-foot BESS containers with 5MWh storage capacity from system integrators and vertically integrated battery manufacturers. Some are even exceeding that capacity, such as CATL with its 6.25MWh Tener solution.
