How Much Does Commercial Energy Storage Cost?
In this article, we break down typical commercial energy storage price ranges for different system sizes and then walk through the key cost drivers behind those numbers—battery chemistry,
View DetailsAverage Installed Cost per kWh in 2025 In today's market, the installed cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system — including the battery pack, Battery Management System (BMS), Power Conversion System (PCS), and installation — typically ranges from: $280 to $580 per kWh for small to medium-sized commercial projects.
The price is the expected installed capital cost of an energy storage system. Because the capital cost of these systems will vary depending on the power (kW) and energy (kWh) rating of the system, a range of system prices is provided. 2. Evolving System Prices
The survey methodology breaks down the cost of an energy storage system into the following categories: storage module, balance of system, power conversion system, energy management system, and the engineering, procurement, and construction costs.
Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $245/kWh, $326/kWh, and $403/kWh in 2030 and $159/kWh, $226/kWh, and $348/kWh in 2050.
