turnkey LFP battery system EPC contract price in China

How has China's LFP battery industry impacted profitability?

Intensifying Industry Competition: The entry of new players into China’s LFP battery industry has intensified competition, driving down battery prices. The LFP battery price decline not only impacts battery company profitability but also reverberates through the entire Chinese lithium battery industry chain. The primary concerns are:

How much does LFP cost?

“Average LFP (lithium iron phosphate) tender prices (including PCS and batteries) have gradually dropped from around US$120/kWh in January to around US$80/kWh in November. With some of the large-scale tenders releasing results in December, the prices are expected to continue downwards.

Are EV batteries cheaper in China?

In China, LFP battery packs now cost $75/kWh, and at that level, companies can sell EVs at the same price as or even lower than combustion engine models. Nearly two-thirds of EVs in the country are already cheaper than their ICE counterparts. The decline in battery prices in China will eventually benefit consumers in the global markets as well.

Why are EPCs partnering with China's state-owned power companies?

EPCs in China are increasingly procuring and installing BESS for their customers. “As equipment suppliers, collaborating with these state-owned enterprises is important for not only any single tender, but also assessing long-term opportunities from China’s power sector,” Shi said.

Why are LFP battery prices falling?

Several factors have contributed to the plummeting LFP battery prices: Downward Trend in Upstream Raw Material Prices: Lithium carbonate, a primary raw material for LFP batteries, experienced a sharp price drop in due to weakened demand and oversupply. This, in turn, reduced LFP battery production costs.

How much does LFP Bess cost per kWh?

Basically the sigmoid of cost curve reduction had reached its shift in the curve to flattening again. And now LFP BESS are coming in at an average of $66 per kWh. Of course, that’s in China.

The lowest EPC price for energy storage in China in May was 0.96 yuan/Wh, while the average bid price for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) energy storage EPC was 1.35 yuan/Wh.
