Cost Projections for Utility-Scale Battery Storage: 2021 Update
The $/kWh costs we report can be converted to $/kW costs simply by multiplying by the duration (e.g., a $300/kWh, 4-hour battery would have a power capacity cost of $1200/kW). To develop cost projections, storage costs were normalized to their 2020 value such that each projection started with a value of 1 in 2020.
