6 FAQs about [Energy storage system epc price]
What are base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems?
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2022). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation.
What drives EPC costs?
Construction costs are the area of most variability for overall EPC costs and hold out the promise for greatest areas of cost reduction. These costs are driven by where and how the unit is deployed and the experience of those doing the work. The deployment location of the ESS is the first-level driver for construction costs.
What are the different types of energy storage costs?
The cost categories used in the report extend across all energy storage technologies to allow ease of data comparison. Direct costs correspond to equipment capital and installation, while indirect costs include EPC fee and project development, which include permitting, preliminary engineering design, and the owner’s engineer and financing costs.
Are energy storage systems cost estimates accurate?
The cost estimates provided in the report are not intended to be exact numbers but reflect a representative cost based on ranges provided by various sources for the examined technologies. The analysis was done for energy storage systems (ESSs) across various power levels and energy-to-power ratios.
What are energy storage cost metrics?
Cost metrics are approached from the viewpoint of the final downstream entity in the energy storage project, ultimately representing the final project cost. This framework helps eliminate current inconsistencies associated with specific cost categories (e.g., energy storage racks vs. energy storage modules).
What are EPC and project development costs?
vii) EPC ($/kWh) – includes nonrecurring engineering costs and construction equipment as well as siting, installation, and commissioning of the ESS. viii) Project Development ($/kWh) – costs associated with permitting, power purchase agreements, interconnection agreements, site control, and financing.
