#FullUtilityScale
The #EnergyThinkTank’s #analysis, based on #October2025Auctions in #Italy, #SaudiArabia, & #India & #interviews with #active #developers, shows the cost of a #FullUtilityScale #BatterySystem connected to the grid at $125/kWh for long-duration #projects of four hours or more outside #China & the #USA
This is incredible (good news too): “After a 40% fall in 2024 in battery equipment costs, it’s clear we’re on track for another major fall in 2025…The economics for batteries are unrecognizable, & the industry is only just getting to grips with this new paradigm”
