4 FAQs about Energy storage system fee standard

What are base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems?

Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.

How much does energy storage cost?

For a 4-hour system, most costs were in the $2/kw-yr – $6/kW-yr range for large scale systems. A list of tasks can be found in the Energy Storage Operation and Maintenance Tracker . There may be some owner's tasks or responsibilities that should be accounted for separate from a service agreement.

What are storage costs?

Storage costs are overnight capital costs for a complete 4-hour battery system. Figure 9. Comparison of cost projections developed in this report (solid lines) against the values from the 2023 cost projection report (Cole and Karmakar 2023) (dashed lines). Figure 10.
