Why now
- New 587Ah cell technology is entering the market with potential cost benefits through 2027.
- Recent US policy restricting Chinese battery cells has reversed prior cost declines in utility-scale storage.
- Wood Mackenzie's first global BESS integrator ranking reveals evolving competitive dynamics amid China's dominance.
Why it matters
- Battery cell innovations can significantly reduce energy storage system costs despite raw material price volatility.
- Rising storage costs in the US highlight the impact of supply chain and trade restrictions on energy infrastructure economics.
- Market shifts toward integrator quality and financial resilience reflect maturing energy storage procurement priorities.

Recurring claims
- Wider adoption of 587Ah battery cells could reduce BESS costs through 2027 by increasing module-level energy density and lowering balance-of-system costs despite rising lithium carbonate prices.
- US utility-scale energy storage levelised cost of storage has increased since restrictions on Chinese battery cells came into force.
- Chinese manufacturers dominate the global BESS integrator market, but US companies Tesla and Fluence rank among the top ten as buyers prioritize long-term project execution and financial resilience.
