That’s great news! Haven’t looked the at the report but I wonder if we compare an equivalent amount of dispatch. Is it solar plus 4 hours of battery?
Today, utility-scale batteries paired with solar PV are already competitive with new coal plants in some countries like India
In just the next few years, batteries + solar will be cheaper than new natural gas plants in the US & new coal in China 👉 iea.li/4isvyKG

Happy to have been involved in this write up. It’s pretty disheartening to see the gradual drop in SDG7 ambition!
In the last decade, we have made notable progress towards #SDG7 and the #energytransition. Despite these efforts, all indicators point toward us missing the 2030 goal.
We must therefore raise ambition for a #cleanenergy future!
