Estimated final electricity price for large industrial customers in energy-intensive industries, 2019-2024 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency. . According to BloombergNEF's Levelized Cost of Electricity 2026 report, the cost of battery storage projects plummeted to new lows in 2025 even as most other clean power technologies became more expensive. BNEF's global benchmark costs for solar, onshore wind and offshore wind costs all rose in. . In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are developed from an analysis of recent publications that include utility-scale storage costs. These forecasts explicitly incorporate recent U. federal policy actions, spanning tax credits to tariffs, along with updated views on large load growth (such as data centers). Media inquiries should be directed to. . This analysis considers electricity prices of industries with greater than 150 GWh of annual electricity consumption for European countries, based on Eurostat data.
