Cost Projections for Utility-Scale Battery Storage: 2023
Executive Summary In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour
Energy storage system costs for four-hour duration systems exceed $300/kWh for the first time since 2017. Rising raw material prices, particularly for lithium and nickel, contribute to increased energy storage costs. Fixed operation and maintenance costs for battery systems are estimated at 2.5% of capital costs.
EV storage will not be significantly reduced by car sharing. With the growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in China, the mass production of EV batteries will not only drive down the costs of energy storage, but also increase the uptake of EVs. Together, this provides the means by which energy storage can be implemented in a cost-efficient way.
As we look ahead to 2024, energy storage system (ESS) costs are expected to undergo significant changes. Currently, the average cost remains above $300/kWh for four-hour duration systems, primarily due to rising raw material prices since 2017.
Energy storage systems (ESS) for four-hour durations exceed $300/kWh, marking the first price hike since 2017, largely driven by escalating raw material costs and supply chain disruptions. Geopolitical issues have intensified these trends, especially concerning lithium and nickel.
A potential capacity and cost comparison is conducted for each pathway, and it is concluded that EVs can achieve large scale energy storage effectively addressing the issue of intra-day power imbalance caused by the high penetration of variable renewable energy.
Mass EV production is driving battery cost reduction. By 2030, EV storage can significantly facilitate high VRE integration in China. EV storage will be more cost effective than stationary storage in the long term. Repurposing retired batteries shows diminishing cost competitiveness. EV storage will not be significantly reduced by car sharing.
