Four-hour battery storage now cheaper to install than gas turbines worldwide
Original: 4-hour battery storage is cheaper to install than gas turbines all across globe
A new analysis reports that installing four-hour battery storage is cheaper than building new gas turbines in every region of the world, a milestone for the energy transition. Commenters are debating the claim's assumptions, noting that installation cost is only part of the picture and that factors like duration, grid needs and fuel prices still shape the comparison.
Why now: The finding marks a tipping point in the cost race between batteries and gas power, with big implications for energy policy and investment.
