Lazard''s Levelized Cost of Energy+ (LCOE+) is a U.S.-focused annual publication that combines analyses across three distinct reports: Energy (LCOE, 17 th edition), Storage, (LCOS, 9 th edition) and Hydrogen (LCOH, 4 th edition). Lazard first started publishing its comparative analysis of various generation technologies in 2007.
Lazard''s latest annual Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis (LCOE 13.0) shows that as the cost of renewable energy continues to decline, certain technologies (e.g., onshore wind and utility-scale solar), which became cost-competitive with conventional generation several years ago on a new-build basis, continue to maintain competitiveness with
Source: Lazard estimates. (1) Given the operational parameters for the Transmission and Distribution use case (i.e., 25 cycles per year), certain levelized metrics are not comparable between this and other use cases presented in Lazard’s Levelized Cost of Storage report.
The fuel cost assumptions for Lazard’s LCOE analysis of gas-fired generation, coal-fired generation and nuclear generation resources are $3.45/MMBTU, $1.47/MMBTU and $0.85/MMBTU respectively, for year-over-year comparison purposes. See page titled “Levelized Cost of Energy Comparison—Sensitivity to Fuel Prices” for fuel price sensitivities.
The corresponding levelized cost of storage for this case would be $1,613/MWh – $3,034/MWh. The scope of revenue sources is limited to those captured by existing or soon-to-be commissioned projects. Revenue sources that are not identifiable or without publicly available data are not analyzed
