The advantage that base power supply Used to offer was that it was cheap. Coal was cheap for a long time, and nukes were not crazy expensive. Now coal-fired electricity is more expensive than the other sources and nuclear is crazy expensive. On top of that, neither coal nor nukes are dispatchable on the time basis that provides any value to a utility matching varying supply with loads that have always varied. Base supply is NOT needed to keep the lights on at night. ANY cheap source of electricity that runs at night will do the job.

Thanks Sam for providing this excellent summary promoting solar energy. Long time believer and installe solar PV to our home (13.2 kWh) in 2012, and two Powerwall-2 batteri3s installed in 2018. Our solar system was paid off by 2019 and we operate as a microgrid ~8 months of the year in Edmonds, WA (USA). Solar is a no brainer and works to power our all electric home and charge our two EVs, while exporting excess solar energy back to grid through Net metering.

@@markthomasson5077 solar and wind actually makes ALL electricity more expensive.! Every country that has significant % of wind and solar in their generation, have seen huge increases in electricity costs. Levelised cost does not reflect the FULL cost of electricity supply. You need the FULL SYSTEM SUPPLY COST which includes the costs of all the extra interconnectors, storage, replacement ( short life cycle) , back up power, and FcAS, costs. When those are included, wind and solar show exceptionally high cost per MWh compared even to Nuclear.

[@TheOrangeGunner]

LCOE as a measure does not take into account the cost of backup, grid balance and curtailment. Why is it that countries with high level of intermittent power supplies have the highest electricity cost. You would make electric viking a real valuable channel if you dig deeper into this.

[@BrentonSmythesfieldsaye]

"Why is it that countries with high level of intermittent power supplies have the highest electricity cost" - The answer to this question readily available online. In Australia it keep getting recycled by renewable energy contrarians and has been done over and over and over. In Australia it has been explained repeatedly by energy sector representatives, such as AEMO, AEC, ARENA, CSIRO and the various regional electricity network operators. So one more time in laymans summary........... The SYSTEMIC transition to a complete and mature renewable energy system is in it's infancy. It is referred to as a disruption that will take many years, not a simple change over. While the transition is in progress traditional forms of energy and generation obviously need to temporarily "hold the fort" so to speak. That costs more, while you have to retain the traditional system running along side the new system and all the complexities that brings with it. But there is no magical switch to flick and bingo we are all in renewable energy transition utopia in an instance. So what were you expecting? There is nothing unexpected about the state of play. Maybe if all the mischievous naysayers piped down, got out of the way and let the people with the know how and expertise progress the transition, so the can get on with the job unhindered and at greater pace, electricity prices would be that much closer to coming down. But no, so many people seem to think they are experts in all things energy, while being critical of things that are entirely outside their sphere.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

This is simply not true. Here in America (excluding California because California regulation is absurd), the states with the highest percentage of renewable energy on their grid are also the typically cheapest. South Dakota, Idaho, Texas, Washington state, Oklahoma, Kansas, Wyoming etc.. Also interesting, most of those states are free market Republican held states and they are building out renewables 3 times faster than blue states.

[@BrentonSmythesfieldsaye]

@@Ryan-ff2db Thanks for the heads up from your country. It has also been interesting here in Australia, because we have also had a mix of political flavours across states driving the transition to renewable energy. It can only be a good thing. If politicians are willing to put ideology aside and make decisions based on merit, then they earn our support, whatever political flavour they adhere to.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

@@BrentonSmythesfieldsaye Well, generally Republicans are the Big Oil party but red states(republican) are also more free market, making investment in renewables cheaper and faster. The big red state of Texas has over twice the renewables as California but California rates are over 3 times higher than Texas. South Dakota has almost 80 percent of it's power from renewables and again over 3 times cheaper than California. So cheap renewables is indeed possible, if you keep the politicians out of the way.

[@basil8940]

But why is the LCOE relevant? It's the total cost that matters. You're looking at the wrong number. Even if wind and solar are the cheapest to 'add' to the grid, as the CSIRO says, wind loses to wind, solar loses to solar. Adding wind and solar makes the rest of the grid less efficient and thereby driving up costs of the grid as a whole. This is why grids with lots of wind and solar have high electricity bills. South Australia verses the other states. California verses the other states. Germany and Ireland verses the other EU. There are no exceptions. It's like comparing commodities, the levelised cost of commodities (LOCC); iron, cotton or opium. The LOCC would be good for comparing iron and cotton, but not good for opium because people will get addicted to opium then become unproductive and the market shrinks. But even as the market shrinks, all the way up to economic collapse, societal collapse and into an opium war, the LOCC would still say that opium has the largest profits. Wind and solar are the opium of the energy sector.

There is more solar power available in summer than winter. If enough solar panels are installed to cover demand in winter, there will be an excess in summer.

And remember that lady politician Nora something in Australia last year, she brought up valid points and questions about the failures of EVs during any sort of emergency situations and why it’s always better to have gas and diesel cars on hand for evacuation plans. She used the bush fires of 2016 as an example. I can also use the wild fires in Alberta and Nova Scotia as examples of why you do not want to be in an EV when you are trying to evacuate your family. And do you really think the emergency services would use EVs for themselves during those times? No they would not.

True, the cost of solar panels and inverters have dropped considerably. In THAT aspect Tony Seba was correct. However, he never contemplated about the devious way power companies operate.

The AEMO will soon start charging rooftop solar owners to put power into the grid. Why is the AEMO doing this ? That is part of the AEMO strategy in the ISP. The ISP says that the grid will need the equivalent of 9 more Snowy 2.0s before the last coal fired power station closes. This is not going to happen, so the AEMO needs another source of power storage. Charging people to put power into the grid fits in well with the business models of the renewable farms and the strategic plans of both the AEMO and the AEMC. During the day, when there is so much solar around, renewable farms can't compete with rooftop solar. It would appear that the AEMC is now doing to rooftop solar what he has done to coal fired power (make it uneconomic for them to compete). This is likely to force rooftop solar owners to buy home batteries, which now fits in nicely with the AEMO's ISP strategy. If it doesn't pay to put your excess power into the NEM, you might as well store it for your own use. The AEMO needs your home batteries and your EV (sources of cheap stored power) to back up the grid between 4pm and 8pm. It is listed in the ISP as CER (Consumer Energy Resources) but not costed in the ISP as the AEMO says that buying batteries and EVs is a personal choice. However, the ISP won't work if there are not enough CERs to use in peak usage times.

Great article, but baseload, reliable generation is not BS. What happens on overcast days if all nuclear plants have been closed and there is insufficient hydro? Rolling blackouts. Yes, storage is getting cheaper, but not discussed is the true total cost /Kwh AC. There are significant losses in the conversion process both ways. If you're going from DC panels directly to DC battery storage, a large part of that loss is mitigated. But you still have the loss converting to AC from DC or AC to DC for storage, then the loss converting back to AC. Factor in maintenance and other unique costs, and what is the true cost/Kwh AC? Most solar generation is calculated in DC Kwhs, not AC. 1 Kwh DC does not equal 1 Kwh AC. Salesmen never discuss efficiency losses or actual real-world AC production of your system only the theoritical maximum panel production under perfect conditions. We will always need something to pick up the load until grid sized battery storage is large enough to cover baseload.

Flat TVs are almost impossible to make and require a huge investment. And yet they are dirt cheap. Why was it cheaper to cover my roof with 4k TVs than to put solar on it? The cost of solar had to come down because the price was just ridiculous for no reason, it's about time they came down but they still cost WAY more than they should. Same thing is true of batteries and EVs, the cost must and will come down even with industry and governments trying to keep the price high with BS policy.

[@CiaranMcHale]

When flat screen TVs first came on the market, they were horrendously expensive, but Wright's Law helped them get progressively cheaper over time. The same has happened for solar panels, batteries, EVs, computers, mobile/cell phone, smart phones and many other products. But Wright's Law does not state that the rate at which one thing will get cheaper will be the same as the rate that something else will get cheaper. As such, you are engaging in an apples and oranges comparison when asking, "Why was it cheaper to cover my roof with 4k TVs than to put solar on it?" Aside from that, your question incorrectly assumes that it would be cheaper to cover your roof with flat screen TVs that with solar. At least where I live (UK), the cost per square meter of a solar panel is cheaper than the cost per square meter of a flat screen TV, so the materials cost to cover your roof will be cheaper for solar panels. Then, just like you need to pay for fixing brackets and labour to install solar panels on your roof, you would also need to pay for fixing brackets and labour to install flat screen TVs on your roof. When you write, "The cost of solar had to come down because the price was just ridiculous for no reason", you are engaging in a logical fallacy that just because you cannot think of a reason for [such-and-such], there isn't a reason for [such-and-such].
