  • PV will make up 17% of the world’s electricity supply by

2040

  • Batteries and PV will get sharply cheaper
  • Solar thermal will barely grow beyond the existing pipeline,

as it is too expensive to compete head to head

  • Does this likely auction result overturn this conclusion?
  • We know very little about the specific conditions of the

Dubai auction – is the $94.5/MWh a rate for all MWh, or a base rate with a peak generation premium? What’s the inflation index? How much storage is there? Will it be able to sell grid services as a battery system can? Hoping to learn more from other panelists!

Hypothetical PV + storage – 2021 project

Assumption Total PV 200MW $0.83/W(DC) $166m Lithium-ion battery 1600MWh $156/kWh $250m Capacity factor 20% Cost of capital 8% equity, 4% debt, no tax Opex $61,000 per MW per year LCOE $115/MWh (inflation adjusted)

  • > so $94.5/MWh does look good for the Dubai solar thermal

project, at first glance – but this storage is massive, and the battery can offer more services….
