According to BNEF, battery pack prices for stationary storage fell to $70/kWh in 2025, a 45% decrease from 2024. This represents the steepest decline among all lithium-ion battery use
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.
That is more than 2.5 times annual demand for lithium-ion batteries in 2024, according to BNEF. “The price drop for battery cells this year was greater compared with that seen in battery metal prices, indicating that margins for battery manufacturers are being squeezed.
BNEF's battery price survey – which spans multiple end uses, including various electric-vehicle types and stationary-storage applications – reveals pronounced differences across sectors. Battery pack prices for stationary storage fell to $70/kWh in 2025, 45% lower than in 2024.
Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115 per kilowatt-hour, according to analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF). Factors driving the decline include cell manufacturing overcapacity, economies of scale, low metal and component prices, adoption of lower-cost lithium-...
