The BESS will cost between $300 and $400 million and will be developed, built, and operated by Eku Energy. Construction will start in late 2024 with completion expected in 2025.
Containerized Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essentially large batteries housed within storage containers. These systems are designed to store energy from renewable sources or the grid and release it when required.
From the initial container purchase and land prep in the US to installing solar panels and navigating local permits, every decision has a price tag. This guide provides the detailed, pragmatic cost breakdown you need to budget accurately and build confidently.
All-in BESS projects now cost just $125/kWh as of October 2025 2. With a $65/MWh LCOS, shifting half of daily solar generation overnight adds just $33/MWh to the cost of solar.
Driven steel piles offer the fastest installation rates, making them a highly cost-effective foundation choice for both solar array racking and heavy BESS pads on large-scale projects.
What is the most cost-effective way to protect a BESS from lightning? A combination of SPDs, grounding, lightning rods, and shielding offers the best cost-to-protection ratio for BESS facilities. Need help securing your battery storage system? Get in touch with us today.
