Four-hour batteries now beat gas peaker plants on cost
Original: # Batteriespeicher mit vier Stunden Entladedauer erzeugen laut einer Analyse von Wood Mackenzie in 43 untersuchten Märkt
A Wood Mackenzie analysis of 43 markets finds that battery storage systems with four hours of discharge duration can now deliver cheaper electricity than new gas-fired peaker plants used for peak load coverage. Falling storage costs are driving the improved competitiveness, though analysts note limits remain, as batteries depend on sufficient charging supply and cannot yet fully replace flexible gas capacity everywhere.
Why now: Falling battery costs are reshaping the economics of peak power supply, prompting debate about how quickly gas plants can be displaced.
