Energy storage is one of the critical factors towards a cleaner and greener future. While non-renewable energy powers most of the world, energy storage is a growing form of sustainable energy. The article starts to explain the importance of energy storage systems in brief and goes on to state the current scenario with accurate statistics for 2023.
Energy storage system costs stay above $300/kWh for a turnkey four-hour duration system. In 2022, rising raw material and component prices led to the first increase in energy storage system costs since BNEF started its ESS cost survey in 2017. Costs are expected to remain high in 2023 before dropping in 2024.
