What will the future of battery technology look like in ?
By , total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials. Battery lifetimes and performance will also keep improving, helping to reduce the cost of services delivered.
Are battery storage costs based on long-term planning models?
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.
When will battery cost projections be updated?
In , battery cost projections were updated based on publications that focused on utility-scale battery systems (Cole and Frazier ), with updates published in (Cole and Frazier ) and (Cole, Frazier, and Augustine ). There was no update published in .
Do projected cost reductions for battery storage vary over time?
The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time. Figure ES-1 shows the suite of projected cost reductions (on a normalized basis) collected from the literature (shown in gray) as well as the low, mid, and high cost projections developed in this work (shown in black).
Table 1 lists the publications that are presented in this work. Because of rapid price changes and deployment expectations for battery storage, only the publications released in and are used to create the projections.

BESS costs could fall 47% by , says NREL
A big driver of the fall in BESS costs will be a decline in the costs of the battery cells and packs themselves, which can make up half the cost of a lithium-ion BESS.
