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.
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).
Will a 60% tariff increase energy storage costs?
“What we found is that with the 60% tariff, the cost [of a turnkey energy storage system] increases by 60% compared to , so this is quite a big cost jump if the US actually decided to do so,” Kikuma says.
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 .
Could China's rising energy costs lead to higher energy costs?
The rising costs could prove even higher for the Chinese-based materials such as direct current (DC) blocks, the report forecasts. The Clean Energy Associates (CEA) study used a base case of Section 301 tariffs increased to 60% on these imported battery energy storage technologies.
