RRS has traditionally been a large component of the revenue stack for storage with historically high prices that have acted as an incentive for storage buildout. As storage buildout has grown and saturated the RRS market, RRS prices have declined relative to energy prices. Whether ECRS revenues can replace lost RRS revenues depends on multiple
Installing home battery storage typically costs between $6,000 and $18,000, according to live pricing from solar ''s installation network. Why such a wide range? The biggest factor is size, measured by how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity the battery can store.

Battery storage costs have evolved rapidly over the past several years, necessitating an update to storage cost projections used in long-term planning models and other activities. This work documents the development of these projections, which are based on recent publications of storage costs.
This study shows that battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential. By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials.
The suite of publications demonstrates wide variation in projected cost reductions for battery storage over time. Figure ES-1 shows the suite of projected cost reductions (on a normalized basis) collected from the literature (shown in gray) as well as the low, mid, and high cost projections developed in this work (shown in black).
