Battery storage costs on the rise. Enormous demand for Li-ion batteries in IT devices and EVs has spurred enormous investment in technological innovation and large-scale manufacture. This helped to push prices from $1,200/kWh in 2010 to $132/kWh in 2021 – an 89% fall, according to BNEF. That trend has now gone into reverse.
The $/kWh costs we report can be converted to $/kW costs simply by multiplying by the duration (e.g., a $300/kWh, 4-hour battery would have a power capacity cost of $1200/kW). To develop cost projections, storage costs were normalized to their 2018 value such that each projection started with a value of 1 in 2018.
