I spoke too soon. Reading the Cleantechnica article I see now that it's a tangled error, but one worth understanding. What they mean when they mention "$100 per KWh" is that the price of a battery with the capacity to store and deliver 100 KWh of electric energy will fall to $100. In that context the correct number for them to have used would be "$1 per Kwh of storage capacity". It's certainly confusing that the term KWh is used to designate two different measures, 1) the one time delivery/consumption of 1000W of power for one hour, and 2) the capacity of a battery to store and deliver that same amount of energy over and over again.
I'm sorry that you continue to confuse the terms "kilowatt" and "kilowatt hour", as many do and as you have often done before. I suggest you do a Google search on 'Kw Kwh Difference". If, as you state, a kilowatt hour were to cost $100, it would be 1,000 times more expensive than the kilowatt hour I buy from my utility company.
The unit of capacity to generate a flow of power is GW: gigawatts. The unit of the amount of power delivered or consumed during a given time period is GWH: gigawatt hours.
