The cost of building a new battery energy storage system has fallen by 30% in the last two years. In 2022, a new two-hour system would have cost upwards of £800k/MW to build. In 2024, that figure is £600k/MW. Cost reductions are expected to continue into 2025 and beyond. 2. Lower Capex is offsetting lower revenues
Battery revenues have fallen by over 60% in the last two years, mostly due to the saturation of frequency response markets. Historically these services have accounted for over 90% of battery revenues, but they are now a minor component, replaced by greater trading and Balancing Mechanism revenues.
