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.
The cost of storing a unit of electricity is called the levelised cost of storage (LCOS). In this analysis, the LCOS reflects the cost of shifting one MWh to another time, such as moving daytime solar to night-time. Therefore, we do not include the cost of electricity to charge the battery.
A levelised cost of storage (LCOS) of $65/MWh. An all-in capex of $125/KWh leads to a cost of $65/MWh to move electricity, based on the latest real-world project parameters.
The analysis focuses on markets outside China and the United States, where competitive procurement of Chinese-manufactured equipment is reshaping global storage economics. Ember's assessment of storage costs as of October 2025, based on recent auctions in Italy, Saudi Arabia and India and on expert interviews, shows:
