Battery storage now cheaper to build than gas turbines worldwide

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

A new industry report finds that four-hour battery storage systems are cheaper to install than new gas turbines in every region of the world. The finding suggests grid-scale batteries have reached a cost tipping point, allowing power grids to shift electricity from solar and wind to peak hours without relying on new fossil fuel plants for capacity.

Why now: The cost crossover between batteries and gas turbines marks a major milestone in the global energy transition.
