To accurately reflect the changing cost of new electric power generators in the Annual Energy Outlook 2025 (AEO2025), EIA commissioned Sargent & Lundy (S&L) to evaluate the overnight capital cost and performance characteristics for 19 electric generator types.
Industry data suggests that the average monthly rental cost for an energy storage facility can range from $5 to $15 per square foot, which can translate to a total monthly cost of $25,000 to $300,000 or more, depending on the facility size.
Figure ES-2 shows the overall capital cost for a 4-hour battery system based on those projections, with storage costs of $245/kWh, $326/kWh, and $403/kWh in 2030 and $159/kWh, $226/kWh, and $348/kWh in 2050.
Annual O&M Costs: Costs for administrative or preventive maintenance are scheduled on regular intervals. These costs are escalated according to an inflation rate to the year in which they occur. Costs for corrective maintenance are the replacement cost of the component multiplied by the probability that a failure will occur in that year. The
