By Elle Nicholson Battery energy storage systems, commonly referred to as BESS, have quickly become an invaluable tool in the energy industry, for both utilities and small-scale applications alike.
The utility-scale storage market in the U.S. is experiencing unprecedented momentum. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), installed utility-scale battery storage capacity surpassed 15 GW in 2024 and is projected to more than double by 2026, with significant contributions from California, Texas, and Arizona.
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
Most large-scale battery energy storage systems we expect to come online in the United States over the next three years are to be built at power plants that also produce electricity from solar photovoltaics, a change in trend from recent years.
For costs reported between 2013 and 2019, short-duration battery storage systems had an average power capacity of 12.4 MW, medium-duration systems had 6.4 MW, and long-duration battery storage systems had 4.7 MW. The average energy capacity for the short- and medium-duration battery storage systems were 4.7 MWh and 6.6 MWh, respectively.
Introduction As the U.S. accelerates its transition toward a cleaner, more resilient energy grid, utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) are emerging as a critical enabler of this transformation.
The first large-scale1 battery storage installation reported to us in the United States that was still in operation in 2019 entered service in 2003. Only 50 MW of power capacity from large-scale battery storage systems was installed between 2003 and 2010. However, the prevalence of these systems has grown in recent years.
