In support of this challenge, PNNL is applying its rich history of battery research and development to provide DOE and industry with a guide to current energy storage costs and performance metrics for various technologies.
Battery prices saw their biggest annual drop since 2017, with lithium-ion battery pack prices down by 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115/kWh, according to analysis by BloombergNEF (BNEF).
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.
The average unit price of energy storage batteries varies significantly based on factors such as 1. Battery Type, 2. Capacity, 3. Manufacturing Scale, 4. Market Demand. The price can differ based on technological advancements and raw material costs.

Understanding the full cost of a Battery Energy Storage System is crucial for making an informed decision. From the battery itself to the balance of system components, installation, and ongoing maintenance, every element plays a role in the overall expense.
The global average price of lithium-ion battery packs has fallen by 20% year-on-year to USD 115 (EUR 109) per kWh in 2024, marking the steepest decline since 2017, according to BloombergNEF''s annual battery price survey, unveiled on Tuesday.
As battery storage costs decline, utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) will likely experience significant decreases in battery pack costs, outpacing other system components, similar to trends in photovoltaic systems.
Informing the viable application of electricity storage technologies, including batteries and pumped hydro storage, with the latest data and analysis on costs and performance.
Let''s face it—electric vehicle (EV) energy storage battery prices have been on a wild ride lately. In 2023, a 100kWh battery pack cost around $20,000. Fast forward to 2025, and that same capacity might set you back just $4,000 [2]. That''s like trading
