BNEF finds 40% year-on-year drop in BESS costs
BNEF analyst Isshu Kikuma discusses trends and market dynamics impacting the cost of energy storage in 2024 with ESN Premium.
Less than a decade ago, South Korean companies held over half of the global energy storage system (ESS) market with the rushed promise of helping secure a more sustainable energy future. However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market.
In South Korea, various energy storage solutions, such as pumped hydro, and electrochemical batteries, are used. Depending on the energy storage technology and delivery characteristics, an ESS can serve many roles in an electricity market.
The hydropower capacity comprises 1,789 MW of pure hydropower and a further 4,700 MW of pumped storage as of 2021 - As per new pumped storage power plants, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP) has chosen three areas for development: Youngdong (500 MW), Hongcheon (600 MW), and Pocheon (750 MW).
Around the beginning of this year, BloombergNEF (BNEF) released its annual Battery Storage System Cost Survey, which found that global average turnkey energy storage system prices had fallen 40% from 2023 numbers to US$165/kWh in 2024.
Most of Korea's lithium-ion battery energy storage systems have been built in the last ten years. The companies and the Korean government are supporting R&D on batteries to improve their performance, efficiency, safety, and output
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.
