    4-hour battery storage is cheaper to install than gas turbines all across globe

    Wood Mackenzie's global LCOE analysis shows four-hour battery storage is now cheaper than open-cycle gas turbines across all 43 modeled markets, with costs falling further by 2035. Solar PV is the lowest-cost generation technology in most regions, while onshore wind leads in five markets. Battery storage and renewable energy costs continue declining due to manufacturing scale and technological advances.
