Ember provides the latest capex and Levelised Cost of Storage (LCOS) for large, long-duration utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across global markets outside China and the US, based on recent auction results and expert interviews. 1. All-in BESS projects now cost just $125/kWh as of October 2025 2.
Christina Rentell, Research Lead for Iberia and France, at Aurora Energy Research says: The battery storage market in France is expanding rapidly, but with deployment dominated by the development of large batteries, markets are at a higher risk of saturation.
Manufacturers typically oversize the installed capacity by at least 10%, allowing them to guarantee a 0–100% state of charge operating range. The price of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery cells for stationary energy storage applications has dropped to around $40/kWh in Chinese domestic markets as of November 2025.
That €0.04/kWh price for excess power from small solar arrays compares with an average electricity price in France of €0.2146/kWh. “We must continue to communicate with the general public so that they don't abandon the idea of investing in solar energy,” said the Hello Watt renewable electricity supplier.
