BESS Price Data | Pexapark
With benchmark BESS tolling prices, co-located PPA prices for hybrid projects and analytics to model expected revenues for standalone assets,
As of most recent estimates, the cost of a BESS by MW is between $200,000 and $450,000, varying by location, system size, and market conditions. This translates to around $200 - $450 per kWh, though in some markets, prices have dropped as low as $150 per kWh. Key Factors Influencing BESS Prices
BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage Systems, which store energy generated from renewable sources like solar or wind. The stored energy can then be used when demand is high, ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply.
Factoring in these costs from the beginning ensures there are no unexpected expenses when the battery reaches the end of its useful life. To better understand BESS costs, it's useful to look at the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stored. As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here's a simple breakdown:
Beyond the initial capital cost, there are ongoing operational costs associated with BESS. These include: Maintenance: Regular maintenance is required to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Replacement: Battery cells degrade over time, necessitating periodic replacement.
