4 FAQs about Air Energy Storage Cost

How much does energy storage cost?

Cost data for most technology groups came from projects deployed globally between 2018 and 2024. At $232/kWh, thermal energy storage was the cheapest technology group, followed by compressed air storage. At $643/kWh, gravity storage had the highest average global capex cost, BNEF said.

What is compressed air energy storage?

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is one of the many energy storage options that can store electric energy in the form of potential energy (compressed air) and can be deployed near central power plants or distribution centers. In response to demand, the stored energy can be discharged by expanding the stored air with a turboexpander generator.

Which energy storage technology groups can discharge for 6 hours?

BNEF examined seven energy storage technology groups that can discharge for durations of at least six hours, including compressed air, compressed gas, pumped hydro, thermal, gravity, flow batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Cost data for most technology groups came from projects deployed globally between 2018 and 2024.

Which energy storage system has the highest CAPEX cost?

At $643/kWh, gravity storage had the highest average global capex cost, BNEF said. In non-China markets, installed LDES system costs were 54% higher for thermal energy storage, 66% higher for flow batteries and 68% higher for compressed air storage, BNEF said.
