New York, December 9, 2025 – lithium-ion battery pack prices have dropped 8% since 2024 to a record low of $108 per kilowatt-hour, according to latest analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF).
The cost of battery storage per kWh ranges from $700 to $1,300 installed for residential systems and $125 to $334 for utility-scale projects as of late 2025. Battery pack prices alone have
In 2025, lithium-ion battery pack prices hit a record low of $108/kWh across all segments, with stationary storage systems plummeting to $70/kWh—a staggering 45% drop from 2024 levels.
Costs vary widely based on size and battery chemistry, generally $500–$1,000 per kWh installed. Additional benefits include demand charge management, energy cost reduction, and
In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are developed from an
