How much does a sodium ion battery energy storage cabinet cost

How much does a commercial battery energy storage system cost?

Average Installed Cost per kWh in 2025 In today’s market, the installed cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system — including the battery pack, Battery Management System (BMS), Power Conversion System (PCS), and installation — typically ranges from: $280 to $580 per kWh for small to medium-sized commercial projects.

Are sodium ion batteries a viable alternative to lithium-ion?

Sodium-ion batteries, developed by CATL, are a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion technology. They offer lower costs, inherent safety, and suitability for EVs and renewable energy systems. With a potential cost reduction to $10/kWh, sodium-ion batteries use sodium's abundance and safety to address energy storage challenges.

What are sodium ion batteries?

Sodium-ion batteries are a type of battery that uses sodium as its main component instead of lithium. Unlike lithium, which is relatively scarce and expensive, sodium is derived from common salt, making sodium-ion batteries more sustainable and cost-effective.

Can sodium-ion batteries help power a sustainable future?

CATL has introduced sodium-ion batteries with a potential cost reduction to $10/kWh, using sodium’s abundance and safety to address energy storage challenges. After all, the race to power a sustainable future is as much about bold ideas as it is about overcoming the obstacles in their path.
