Tesla''s ''milestone'' mega battery factory breaks ground in Shanghai
U.S. carmaker Tesla commenced construction of a mega factory in Shanghai on Thursday, to produce Megapack energy storage batteries, as the milestone project is slated for mass
In another record-breaking year for energy storage installations, the sector has firmly cemented its position in the global electricity market and reached new heights. From price swings and relentless technological advancements to shifting policy headwinds and tailwinds, 2025 proved to be anything but uneventful.
Demand for energy storage continues to escalate, the global battery energy storage (BESS) landscape is poised for significant installation growth and technological advancements.
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 makes stationary storage the cheapest category for the first time. On a regional basis, average battery pack prices were lowest in China, at $94/kWh.
Global adoption is accelerating, with major integrators like Fluence, Powin, and Wärtsilä releasing compatible products in late 2024. Some manufacturers are pushing boundaries further, introducing 500+ Ah batteries and 6+ MWh containers slated for mass production in 2025, which will significantly reduce system and project costs.
