utility scale ESS procurement cost comparison

How much does an ESS system cost?

Increased competition in the commercial ESS space Government incentives (e.g., tax credits in the U.S. and Europe) make systems more affordable. For example, in , a 100 kWh system could cost $45,000. By , similar systems could sell for less than $30,000, depending on configuration.

What is the Energy Storage pricing survey (ESPs)?

3. Purpose The annual Energy Storage Pricing Survey (ESPS) is designed to provide a reference system price to market participants, government officials, and financial industry participants for a variety of energy storage technologies at different power and energy ratings.

How are energy storage systems priced?

They are priced according to five different power ratings to provide a relevant system comparison and a more precise estimate. The power rating of an energy storage system impacts system pricing, where larger systems are typically lower in cost (on a $/kWh basis) than smaller ones due to volume purchasing, etc.

What is a system price?

The system price provided is the total expected installed cost (capital plus EPC) of an energy storage system to a customer. Because the capital cost of these system will vary depending on the power (kW) and energy (kWh) rating of the system, a range of system prices has been provided for the reader.

What are energy storage cost metrics?

Cost metrics are approached from the viewpoint of the final downstream entity in the energy storage project, ultimately representing the final project cost. This framework helps eliminate current inconsistencies associated with specific cost categories (e.g., energy storage racks vs. energy storage modules).

Which energy storage technologies are included in the cost and performance assessment?

The Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
