Lazard Releases 2026 Levelized Cost of Energy+ Report

Renewables remain the lowest-cost new-build generation despite rising costs.

Gas peaker plants and nuclear remain the most expensive.

Лёд и гравитация. Технологии длительного хранения энергии

«Солнечный бум» последнего десятилетия слабо ощущается в РФ, но хорошо заметен в США, Европе и Китае, где строят гигантские солнечные фермы на тысячи гектаров . На потребительском рынке тоже ажиотаж, ведь в солнечных широтах можно полностью обеспечивать дом электроэнергией, если покрыть крышу солнечными панелями. И даже на зарядку автомобиля хватит, если крыша большая. Самый важный вопрос — как хранить энергию, накопленную в солнечное время, чтобы выдавать её зимой, когда солнца мало. Обычные литий-ионные аккумуляторы — слишком дорогое решение, хотя цены на них упали в десять раз с 2010 года. Но всё равно есть варианты дешевле и эффективнее, включая солевой расплав, сжатый воздух, гравитацию и лёд.

Haven't checked if my 2023 #LCOE projection holds; if anyone wants to check how wrong I've been, please let me know! Addendum: grey is rather optimistic estimate for new #nuclear power, and the single arrow is the Finnish grid operator Fingrid's estimate for traditional nuclear in 2035.

I have my doubts: hard to see SMRs becoming cost competitive in time to compete with continuing cost reductions of wind, solar, storage, and increasingly integrated EU grid. I did this #LCOE projection in 2023. Reds are #wind and #solar; grey is traditional #nuclear; 2 arrows are #SMR estimates.

On the shortcomings of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) as a single metric to compare power generation costs, e.g. solar vs nuclear vs coal vs wind. This is why LCOE tracker Lazard has added a "firming" costs qualifier. https://heatmap.news/energy/levelized-cost-solar #Grid #LCOE

Hey honey, wake up. The Swiss federal office of energy just published a 264 page report titled "Technology Monitoring of Nuclear Energy".

Wind and solar power half the cost of coal and gas, one-third the cost of nuclear, says Lazard.
2024 Levelized Cost Of Energy report:

Onshore wind: $US 27-72 per megawatt-hour
Onshore wind + storage: $US 45-$133 /MWh
Utility-scale solar: $ 29-$92 /MWh
Large-scale solar with storage: $ 60 - 210 /MWh

Coal: $ 69-$168 /MWh
Combined cycle gas: $ 45-$108 /MWh

Calling all power systems modellers! Are you looking at #LCOE? Calculating technology competitiveness?

Let me introduce GNESTE – a new database with over 5,000 entries from 56 sources on the cost and performance of #electricity generators🧵

@collectifission

Here's the levelized cost of energy (not capacity, as claimed in the video). And Lazard tends to use way outdated data for solar. Speaks for itself.

Lazard publishes the Levelized Cost Of Energy (#LCOE) every year. As in the past few years, #solar and #wind are the least expensive options, even without taking into account the cost of carbon pollution.

It's cheaper to BUILD new utility-scale solar and wind than it is to keep coal and fossil gas plants running (brown diamond in the diagram).

China offshore wind is now as cheap as coal at $65.7/MWh.

"Still, “onshore #wind and #solar remain the cheapest new-build technologies for producing electricity, a position they have held since 2018,” BNEF asserted.

Global average #LCOE ranged from $42 to $48 per MWh for onshore wind and solar, compared to $92/MWh for natural #gas-fired power, according to the firm."

@aeris

Difficile de bien saisir quand, comme moi, on ne sait pas ce qu'est le #LCOE

Du coup (Wikipedia) :

« coût actualisé de l'énergie, en anglais Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), correspond au prix complet d'une énergie (l’électricité dans la plupart des cas) sur la durée de vie de l’équipement qui la produit. »

Je ne suis pas certain de capter ta remarque sur le subventionnement par l'état : subventionnée ou pas, une dépense est une dépense, non ?
