Various factors influence the cost of electric energy storage systems, from government incentives to energy market dynamics. Evaluating these aspects provides better insight into how prices fluctuate in response to external circumstances.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory''s 2020 Grid Energy Storage Technologies Cost and Performance Assessment provides a range of cost estimates for technologies in 2020 and 2030 as well as a framework to help break down different cost categories of energy storage systems.
The answer lies in energy storage – the unsung hero of renewable energy systems. As of 2024, the global energy storage market has grown 40% year-over-year, with lithium-ion battery prices dropping like a post-Christmas sale – from $1,400/kWh in 2010 to just $89/kWh today [8].
The answer might lie in the cost of various energy storage technologies. As renewable energy becomes the rockstar of power generation, storage solutions are the backup dancers making the whole show work.
Informing the viable application of electricity storage technologies, including batteries and pumped hydro storage, with the latest data and analysis on costs and performance.
The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment provides the levelized cost of storage (LCOS). The two metrics determine the average price that a unit of energy output would need to be sold at to cover all project costs inclusive of taxes, financing, operations and maintenance, and others.
Additional storage technologies will be added as representative cost and performance metrics are verified. The interactive figure below presents results on the total installed ESS cost ranges by technology, year, power capacity (MW), and duration (hr).
But how much does energy storage cost per megawatt (MW)? In this article, we''ll delve into the factors that influence these costs and provide some industry estimates.

Electricity Energy Storage Technology Options: A White Paper Primer on Applications, Costs and Benefits. EPRI-1020676, Final Report, December 2010, Electric Power Research Institute, Palo Alto, California. RedT Energy Storage. 2018. “Gen 2 machine pricing starting at $490/kWh.”
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
Informing the viable application of electricity storage technologies, including batteries and pumped hydro storage, with the latest data and analysis on costs and performance. Energy storage technologies, store energy either as electricity or heat/cold, so it can be used at a later time.
The 2020 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.
Additional storage technologies will be added as representative cost and performance metrics are verified. The interactive figure below presents results on the total installed ESS cost ranges by technology, year, power capacity (MW), and duration (hr).
This study shows that battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential. By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
