Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
This increase underscores the persistent challenges in the market and the importance of cost analysis for energy storage in the renewable resource transition, as it aids in incorporating renewable sources into the network, thus bolstering decarbonization initiatives.
LCOS serves as a critical tool for cost analysis in energy storage, aiding in the evaluation of the economic viability of various power retention solutions. In 2025, the power retention landscape is witnessing a notable trend: battery power retention units (BESS) are projected to experience an 11% reduction in costs.
The energy storage sector faces challenges such as limited capacity and high upfront costs, as highlighted in the cost analysis for energy storage. However, it is also buoyed by opportunities in the electric vehicle market and technological advancements.
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 duration systems. The projections are developed from an
