The 400 MWh scale project started operating here in NZ last week. Total project cost $537 USD (900 NZD) per kWh. Current FIR/SIR cost seems to linger around $0.2 NZD / MWh. No idea how do calculate payback on this.

That unit seems off? Should that not be read is kW? Because kWh is for energy, not power?

  Battery capacity is measured in (k)Wh as it stores energy.
