The sophisticated BESS consists of 144 cutting-edge lithium-ion sealed cells -known as Fluence cubes - boasting a formidable capacity of 90MWh. In relative terms, this battery can store power sufficient to fulfill the energy demand of approximately 21,500 homes each day.
[pdf] As of recent data, the average cost of a BESS is approximately $400-$600 per kWh. Here’s a simple breakdown: This estimation shows that while the battery itself is a significant cost, the other components collectively add up, making the total price tag substantial.
