Australia's New South Wales government has approved plans for a 500MW/2,000MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) being developed by energy generator-retailer EnergyAustralia.
The fully installed turnkey system cost—what you actually pay to have an operational BESS—typically ranges from $360 to $690 per kWh for commercial-scale projects. This 2-3x multiplier from module cost to installed cost is where the real budgeting work begins.

A BESS is a complex device with intricate technical components. These include battery cells, typically lithium-ion, and inverters that transform direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). There are multiple control systems, including battery management, power.
