According to Sawyer Merritt, lithium-ion battery pack prices have dropped 8% year-over-year, reaching a record low of $108 per kWh as of December 2025 (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter). This significant price decrease enhances the economic viability of deploying AI-powered energy management systems and smart grid solutions. Lower battery costs enable broader adoption of AI-driven optimization for renewable energy storage, electric vehicles, and industrial IoT, opening new business opportunities for AI startups and enterprises in the sustainable energy sector.

According to Sawyer Merritt, TagEnergy has announced the start of its first Australian energy storage project, leveraging AI solutions for advanced grid management and optimization (source: linkedin.com/posts/tagenergy…). This deployment marks a significant step in integrating artificial intelligence into renewable energy infrastructure, enabling real-time data analysis and predictive maintenance for improved efficiency. The project is expected to create new business opportunities for AI service providers in the energy sector, as well as drive adoption of smart grid technologies across Australia. As the energy industry shifts toward digital transformation, AI-powered systems offer measurable benefits in cost reduction, reliability, and operational transparency (source: linkedin.com/posts/tagenergy…).

According to Sawyer Merritt, a $450 million Tesla Megapack battery energy storage system is now operational in Victoria, Australia. This project, which utilizes 444 Tesla Megapacks, is the largest battery installation on Australia's main grid and one of the largest globally. The deployment leverages advanced AI-powered energy management systems to optimize grid stability, peak shaving, and renewable integration. The scale and smart automation capabilities highlight growing business opportunities for AI-driven energy optimization solutions in utility-scale battery storage, setting new benchmarks for grid modernization and efficiency (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter).
