Listed battery manufacturers say their technical costs could be halved in four years, which could increase their absorption of lithiumion units.
The cost of a vanadium redox mobile battery unit that can discharge for four hours will drop to $150 (U. S. )
President Stephen uss said in a telephone interview in Toronto this month that the price per kilowatt hour was $300.
He said battery prices for eight hours would fall from $100 to $200.
Providers of utilities and renewable energy are increasingly looking to store intermittent wind and solar energy
Generate electricity to balance the power flowing to the grid and deploy it at peak demand.
According to Bloomberg News, about $620 billion of investment will be needed to meet global energy storage needs, which will surge to a cumulative 942 gigawatts by 2040.
"The fixed energy storage market is at an inflection point," Schauss said . " Users are increasingly fond of storage that lasts longer, he added.
Coupled with a drop in the cost of mobile batteries, "Lithium batteries can be difficult to compete. ”Lithium-
Ion batteries are still the preferred technology for both uses

So far, the meter has been stored, Bloomberg News reported.
But compared to lithium, the company promises to reduce costs significantly
