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.
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.
Manufacturers typically oversize the installed capacity by at least 10%, allowing them to guarantee a 0–100% state of charge operating range. The price of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery cells for stationary energy storage applications has dropped to around $40/kWh in Chinese domestic markets as of November 2025.
Additional storage technologies will be added as representative cost and performance metrics are verified. The interactive figure below presents results on the total installed ESS cost ranges by technology, year, power capacity (MW), and duration (hr).
