4 FAQs about Uruguay Energy Storage BESS Price

What is battery energy storage system (BESS)?

The market in Latin America is characterized by increasing investments in renewable energy projects, growing demand for grid stability, and supportive government initiatives. Meaning Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are advanced technological solutions that store electrical energy in batteries, allowing for its utilization when required.

How much does a Bess system cost?

As of most recent estimates, the cost of a BESS by MW is between $200,000 and $450,000, varying by location, system size, and market conditions. This translates to around $200 - $450 per kWh, though in some markets, prices have dropped as low as $150 per kWh. Key Factors Influencing BESS Prices

How much does a Bess battery cost?

As of 2024, the average price for a utility-scale BESS is approximately $148/kWh 1. For a 1 GWh system, this translates to $148 million. It's important to note that this cost includes not just the batteries themselves, but also the inverters, control systems, and other balance of system components.

How much space does a Bess battery need?

Cooling: BESS often require cooling and/or heating systems to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The space required for a 1 GWh BESS depends on the specific battery technology used. However, for a rough estimate, we can use the energy density of modern lithium-ion batteries, which is around 200-300 Wh/L 2.
