READ MOREEnergy storage will likely play a critical role in a low-carbon, flexible, and resilient future grid, the Storage Futures Study (SFS) concludes. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) launched the SFS in 2020 with support from the U.S. Department of Energy to explore the possible evolution of energy storage.
READ MOREThe 2023 ATB represents cost and performance for battery storage with a representative system: a 5-kW/12.5-kWh (2.5-hour) system. It represents only lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) - those with nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries - at this time, with LFP becoming the primary chemistry for stationary storage
READ MOREKey to the enduring success of battery storage, however, researchers also recognize the need to consider the future of spent and discarded batteries. To that, NREL''s battery portfolio includes novel research to increase the lifetime value of battery materials through reuse and recycling.

READ MOREIn all three of the scenarios described below, costs of battery storage are anticipated to continue to decline in future years. The Storage Futures Study (Augustine and Blair, 2021) describes that most of this cost reduction comes from the battery pack cost component, with minimal cost reductions in BOS, installation, and other contributors to the total cost.
