Various end-of-life (EOL) options are under development, such as recycling and recovery. Recently, stakeholders have become more confident that giving the retired batteries a second life by reusing them in less-demanding applications, such as stationary energy storage, may create new value pools in the energy and transportation sectors.
Perhaps distributed energy technologies like vehicle-to-grid (V2G) are a hint of where some of the interest in battery technology lies. At the other end of the scale, our most-read story of 2024 tells the tale of what happened when interconnectors tripped, and large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) helped save the UK grid from blackouts.
This acceleration in grid-scale ESS deployments has been enabled by the dramatic decrease in the cost of lithium ion battery storage systems over the past decade (Fig. 2).As a result of this decrease, energy storage is becoming increasingly cost-competitive with traditional grid assets (such as fossil-fueled power plants) for utility companies addressing

The profitability and functionality of energy storage decrease as cells degrade. The economic end of life is when the net profit of storage becomes negative. The economic end of life can be earlier than the physical end of life. The economic end of life decreases as the fixed O&M cost increases. Indices for time, typically a day.
These “second life” applications can substitute for newly-manufactured battery energy storage systems and in some cases expand the role of stationary energy storage, such as when new systems may be prohibitively expensive, but a lower cost refurbished system can meet the desired performance requirements.
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.
