As shown below, real world numbers for wind and solar costs result in LCOE numbers WHICH ARE 32% AND 64% HIGHER than Lazard's 
estimates respectively. Let's compare Lazard's 2012 analysis to real world data for wind and solar. Wind: Lazard: capital costs: 
$1500-2000, capacity factor: 30-48%

3 days ago - In a country with little or no solar and wind, the average electricity cost is about 16 cents per kilowatt-hour. For 
every 10% increase in solar and wind share, the electricity cost increases by nearly 8 cents per kilowatt-hour. The results are 
similar using 2019 data, before the impacts of COVID and the Ukraine war. The graph below and the ...

Yet governments are spending $1.8 trillion every year on the green transition-and the real cost of forcing people to use 
renewable energy over fossil fuels is even higher. The modern world needs power around the clock. Unreliable and intermittent 
wind and solar bring large, often hidden costs.

But, to add a true capacity of 350MW to the grid, you also need to add a gas-powered plant of 350MW as well, that you will turn 
on when solar is down. Building such a plant with carbon capture and sequestration, to minimize emissions, costs about $2/W, so 
another $0.7B. The soalr plant costs $25/kW.yr to operate, so the operation costs are doubled.

Jan 2, 2025 - For every 10% increase in solar and wind share, the electricity cost increases by more than 5 cents a kilowatt-
hour. Take Germany, where electricity costs 30 cents a kilowatt-hour-more than twice the U.S. cost and more than three times the 
Chinese price.. Germany has installed so much solar and wind that, on sunny and windy days, renewable energy satisfies close to 
70% of Germany's needs ...

Mar 25, 2025 - In a country with little or no solar and wind, the average electricity cost is about 16 cents per kilowatt-hour. 
For every 10 per cent increase in solar and wind share, the electricity cost increases by nearly 8 cents per kWh. The results are 
substantially similar for 2019, before the impacts of Covid and the Ukraine war.
