Technical FAQs 4

Does coal LCOE include cost of Transportation and storage?

The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for coal does not include the cost of transportation and storage.

What is levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) & LCoS?

Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and levelized cost of storage (LCOS) represent the estimated costs required to build and operate a generator and diurnal storage, respectively, over a specified cost recovery period. Levelized avoided cost of electricity (LACE) is an estimate of the revenue available to that generator during the same period.

What is the LCOE cost?

The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) varies by resource type. For solar, solar + storage, or wind resources, LCOE plus Levelized Firming Cost is calculated. LCOE for Gas Combined Cycle ranges from $48 to $109/MWh, and for Gas Peaking, it ranges from $149 to $251/MWh.

Why are LCoS declines in EV & C&I battery energy storage systems?

This year’s analysis shows notable declines in the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoS) of utility scale and C&I battery energy storage systems. Key drivers include both market dynamics—slower-than-expected EV demand and the resulting oversupply of cells—and technological advancements, including increased cell capacity and energy density.
