Ember provides the latest capex and Levelised Cost of Storage (LCOS) for large, long-duration utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across global markets outside China and the US, based on recent auction results and expert interviews. 1. All-in BESS projects now cost just $125/kWh as of October 2025 2.
For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh. A standard 100 kWh system can cost between $25,000 and $50,000, depending on the components and complexity. What are the costs of commercial battery storage?
In 2025, the typical cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system, which includes the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, is in the following range: $280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels.
Different places have different energy storage costs. China’s average is $101 per kWh. The US average is $236 per kWh. Knowing the price of energy storage systems helps people plan for steady power. It also helps them handle money risks. As prices drop and technology gets better, people need to know what causes these changes.
