Are you sure it was $15/MWh? That seems more than 1000x cheaper than state of the art batteries.

- reitzensteinm 6y agoThat's how much the storage added to the price of power in the bid, not the capital cost of the batteries.
- emteycz 6y agoOh! Thank you.
- teraku 6y agoI just checked some prices for small scale PV farms you can plant to your house. It's 16,83 euro-cent for the PV per KWH and 23,74 euro-cent for the storage. Production is 10KWH, storage is 11KWH. So if we (naively) multiply by 1000 we get 23,74€/MWh. And that is for the home market. I know battery storage doesn't scale linearly, but also if you were to build this as a highly-scaled farm, I'm sure prices would also drop as well.
- bedosh 6y ago23 euro cents * 1000 is 230 Euros, not 23. But that is still a factor of 1000 lower then the prices mentioned in https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/73222.pdf https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/73222.pdf and other web publications. Are you sure about those numbers and what kind of storage do they refer to?
