THEMA estimates current battery costs at €75,000 ($88,000) to €120,000 per megawatt, per year for systems with two hours of storage capacity, depending on cost assumptions, service life, and weighted average cost of capital. . Analyst THEMA Consulting Group has calculated the impact of rapid expansion of battery storage systems in Germany and found they will help stabilize solar prices by reducing the number of negatively-priced-electricity hours – but will cannibalize their own revenue in doing so. Negative electricity. . Energy costs: Energy costs decreased in Germany in 2024, stabilizing from higher in prices in 2023 as Germany replaced Russian-supplied natural gas and stabilized its energy imports.
