BNEF: Lithium-ion battery pack prices fall to $108/kWh, stationary storage becomes lowest price segment
According to BNEF, battery pack prices for stationary storage fell to $70/kWh in 2025, a 45% decrease from 2024. This represents the steepest decline among all lithium-ion battery use cases and and makes stationary storage the cheapest category for the first time.
ESS–EV battery supply chain bifurcates as US manufacturers pivot toward storage
While the long-term impacts of the elimination of the United States’ federal electric vehicle tax credit remain unknown, it’s clear that battery manufacturers in the country are starting to shift their approach toward grid-scale storage rather than EV batteries. LG Energy Solution, for instance, plans to expand its ESS facility in Michigan, and OEMs like SK and Samsung are […]
Global grid-scale BESS deployment up by 38% year-on-year through October

Natron Energy to build gigawatt-scale sodium-ion battery plant in North Carolina
The new planned manufacturing facility will produce 24 GW of Natron’s sodium-ion batteries annually. Natron says its batteries outperform lithium-ion batteries in power density and recharging speed, do not require lithium, cobalt, copper, or nickel, and are non-flammable. The plant will be the first double-digit GW sodium-ion plant in the USA.
