Lazard's Levelized Cost of Energy, Levelized Cost of Storage, and Levelized Cost of Hydrogen - 2021

Nuclear Power Industry

Lazard’s 2021 annual Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis (LCOE 15.0) shows the continued cost-competitiveness of certain renewable energy technologies on a subsidized basis and the marginal cost of coal, nuclear and combined cycle gas generation. The costs of renewable energy technologies continue to decline globally, albeit at a slowing pace, reflecting reductions in capital costs, increased competition as the sector continues to mature and continued improvements in scale and technology.
