The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment provides the levelized cost of storage (LCOS). The two metrics determine the average price that a unit of energy output would need to be sold at to cover all project costs inclusive of taxes, financing, operations and maintenance, and others.

However, the capacity configuration optimization is challenging, because there are strong power-heat-carbon interactions among numerous equipment within the power plant

as augmentation and replacement of the storage block and power equipment. The LCOS offers a way to comprehensively compare the true cost of owning and operating various storage assets
The installed capacity of clean energy represented by solar and wind power has increased by 77.5 times in the past 20 years. In 2019, it reached 1437GW, accounting for 35% of the total
The cost categories used in the report extend across all energy storage technologies to allow ease of data comparison. Direct costs correspond to equipment capital and installation, while indirect costs include EPC fee and project development, which include permitting, preliminary engineering design, and the owner’s engineer and financing costs.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours. Li-ion LFP offers the lowest installed cost ($/kWh) for battery systems across many of the power capacity and energy duration combinations.
The power equipment costs fall within the $835–1,645/kW range, with the lower value corresponding to 1,000 MW combined-cycle system and the higher value corresponding to 100 MW single-cycle system. As expected, the EPC fee and project development costs have a wide range, from $4–135/kWh.
Non-battery systems, on the other hand, range considerably more depending on duration. Looking at 100 MW systems, at a 2-hour duration, gravity-based energy storage is estimated to be over $1,100/kWh but drops to approximately $200/kWh at 100 hours.
The cost estimates provided in the report are not intended to be exact numbers but reflect a representative cost based on ranges provided by various sources for the examined technologies. The analysis was done for energy storage systems (ESSs) across various power levels and energy-to-power ratios.
