Across global markets outside China and the United States, the total capex to build a long-duration (4 hours or more) utility-scale BESS project is around $125/kWh, of which around $75/kWh is for the core equipment shipped from China and around $50/kWh to install and connect the battery. A levelised cost of storage (LCOS) of $65/MWh.
As of 2024, the average price for a utility-scale BESS is approximately $148/kWh 1. For a 1 GWh system, this translates to $148 million. It's important to note that this cost includes not just the batteries themselves, but also the inverters, control systems, and other balance of system components.
BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage Systems, which store energy generated from renewable sources like solar or wind. The stored energy can then be used when demand is high, ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply.
Cooling: BESS often require cooling and/or heating systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The space required for a 1 GWh BESS depends on the specific battery technology used. However, for a rough estimate, we can use the energy density of modern lithium-ion batteries, which is around 200-300 Wh/L 2.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming essential in the shift towards renewable energy, providing solutions for grid stability, energy management, and power quality.
