T Solar PV at utility scale is the cheapest form of grid power in the world today. It crossed that threshold years ago. It has been for a number of years now. Irrespective of what I believe. Read the very, very detailed, multi page pdf below. 2023 Levelized Cost Of Energy lazard.com Lazard undertakes an annual detailed analysis into the levelized costs of energy from various generation technologies, energy storage technologies and hydrogen production methods. Below, the Power, Energy & Infrastructure Group shares some of the key findings from the 2023 Levelized Cost of Energy+ report. Levelized Cost of Energy: Version 16.0 The central findings of our LCOE analysis reinforce what we observe across the Power, Energy & Infrastructure Industry—companies of scale that can take advantage of supply chain and other economies of scale will continue to lead the buildout of new renewable assets given the observed LCOE declines for best-in-class renewable generation relative to smaller or more regionally-focused companies that have seen moderate to significant LCOE increases—a trend that we believe will lead to ongoing consolidation across the sector as well as development of evolved business models and strategies to address supply chain and scale considerations. Levelized Cost of Storage: Version 8.0 The central findings of our LCOS analysis reinforce what we observe across the Power, Energy & Infrastructure Industry—Energy Storage System (“ESS”) use cases and applications are becoming more valuable, well understood and, by extension, widespread as grid operators begin adopting methodologies to value ESS resources, which is leading to increased transaction activity and an infrastructure classification for the ESS asset class. Further, while input costs are exposed to the same pressures as the broader Energy Transition sector (e.g., supply chain issues and inflationary pressures), the IRA’s grant of ITC eligibility for standalone ESS assets has kept LCOS_v8.0 values relatively neutral as compared to LCOS_v7.0. T I'm beginning to think you are stuck in the 19th Century! I had hopes for you but I guess you are not keeping up with the massive cost declines that obsolete fossil fuel generation today including Nukes. Just in the last fifteen years. Forget what I have to say, just look at what is happening around the world today. Eric
