Storage Costs Fell Significantly In 2024

One of the biggest drivers in today’s storage market are the rapidly falling costs of batteries

Costs have fallen dramatically - according to BNEF cost per kWh fell on average to $165/kWh in 2024, down 40% YoY from 2023, and less than half of the 2019 value

In China, costs are falling even farther - a December 2024 bid for 16 GWh of battery enclosures + PCS in China had an average price of $66/kWh

An uptick in prices in 2022 was driven by constrained supply, high Lithium prices and lingering pandemic supply chain issues
