Ember provides the latest capex and Levelised Cost of Storage (LCOS) for large, long-duration utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across global markets outside China and the US, based on recent auction results and expert interviews. 1. All-in BESS projects now cost just $125/kWh as of October 2025 2.
In 2025, the typical cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system, which includes the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, is in the following range: $280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels.
For large containerized systems (e.g., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh. A standard 100 kWh system can cost between $25,000 and $50,000, depending on the components and complexity. What are the costs of commercial battery storage?
Investing in commercial battery storage systems now offers benefits such as shorter payback periods, energy independence, reduced peak power costs, and achieving sustainability or carbon neutrality goals faster. Additionally, government incentives make systems more affordable.
In this article, we break down typical commercial energy storage price ranges for different system sizes and then walk through the key cost drivers behind those numbers—battery chemistry,
