Why Energy Storage Bid Prices Are Reshaping Renewable Projects

Did you know the average winning bid price for utility-scale battery storage dropped by 23% between 2020 and 2023? This seismic shift is transforming how solar and wind projects secure reliable energy storage solutions. Let's break down what's driving these changes.

3 Key Factors Influencing Bid Prices

• Battery Chemistry Wars: LFP batteries now dominate 68% of bids due to lower fire risks
• Project Scale: 100MWh+ projects achieve 12-18% cost advantages through bulk procurement
• Regional Incentives: U.S. ITC tax credits reduced effective bid prices by 19-22% post-2022

Region	2020 Price ($/kWh)	2023 Price ($/kWh)	Reduction
North America	625	489	21.8%
Europe	684	532	22.2%
Asia-Pacific	558	427	23.5%
