Battery energy storage costs have reached a historic turning point, with new research from clean energy think tank Ember revealing that storing electricity now costs just $65 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in global markets outside China and the United States.
Ember estimates that if half of daytime solar generation is shifted to nighttime, the $65/MWh storage cost adds about $33/MWh to the cost of solar electricity. With the global average price of solar at $43/MWh in 2024, adding storage would bring the total cost to about $76/MWh, delivering power in a way that better matches real demand.
The report emphasizes that cheap batteries do not merely complement solar energy—they unlock its full potential. With storage, solar transforms from cheap daytime electricity into dispatchable, anytime electricity capable of meeting a much larger share of power system needs.
Even in the winter when solar isn't doing much. This reduces the need for expensive peaker plants, and increases utilization of cheaper power sources. Together, solar and battery storage are increasingly emerging as a scalable, secure, and affordable foundation for future power systems.
