Technical FAQs 4

Are battery energy storage systems the future of electricity?

In the electricity sector, battery energy storage systems emerge as one of the key solutions to provide flexibility to a power system that sees sharply rising flexibility needs, driven by the fast-rising share of variable renewables in the electricity mix.

Are battery energy-storage technologies necessary for grid-scale energy storage?

The rise in renewable energy utilization is increasing demand for battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs). BESTs based on lithium-ion batteries are being developed and deployed. However, this technology alone does not meet all the requirements for grid-scale energy storage.

How much does a battery energy storage system cost?

The average installed cost of battery energy storage systems designed to provide maximum power output over a 4-hour period is projected to decline further, from a global average of around USD 285/kWh in 2021 to USD 185/kWh in the STEPS and APS and USD 180/kWh in the NZE Scenario by 2030.

How big is battery storage capacity in the power sector?

Battery storage capacity in the power sector is expanding rapidly. Over 40 gigawatt (GW) was added in 2023, double the previous year’s increase, split between utility-scale projects (65%) and behind-the-meter systems (35%).
