Commercial and industrial (C&I) ESS is experiencing a surge in growth, entering a phase of rapid development. The increase in installations for utility-scale ESS far outpaces that of other types. In the realm of residential energy storage, projections for new installations in 2024 stand at 11GW/20.9GWh, reflecting a modest 5% and 11% increase.
By 2030, the average LCOS of li-ion BESS will reach below RMB 0.2/kWh, close to or even lower than that of hydro pump, becoming the cheapest energy storage technology. Database contains the global lithium-ion battery market supply and demand analysis, focusing on the cell segment in the ESS sector.
Statistics show the cost of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (li-ion BESS) reduced by around 80% over the recent decade. As of early 2024, the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) of li-ion BESS declined to RMB 0.3-0.4/kWh, even close to RMB 0.2/kWh for some li-ion BESS projects.
In the realm of residential energy storage, projections for new installations in 2024 stand at 11GW/20.9GWh, reflecting a modest 5% and 11% increase. With the decline in both power and natural gas prices, observations from 2023 installations suggest a diminishing sense of urgency for residential installations.
Decreased consumer spending power among residents could hinder the adoption of residential ESS installations. Commercial and industrial (C&I) ESS is experiencing a surge in growth, entering a phase of rapid development. The increase in installations for utility-scale ESS far outpaces that of other types.
