Wood Mackenzie's latest Levelized Cost of Electricity report finds four-hour battery storage has fallen below open-cycle gas turbines on cost in all 43 global markets modeled, and single-axis tracker solar is the lowest-cost new-build source in 43 of 48 markets. North America is the exception: near-term solar costs in the U.S. and Canada remain elevated under tariffs, AD/CVD actions and Section 232 import restrictions, with module prices projected to climb about 5% annually through 2030, residential and commercial module prices up 6% in 2027 and a further 14% in 2028, and utility-scale developers buffered by 168 GW of safe-harbored capacity.
Wood Mackenzie published an analysis finding that the levelized cost of electricity for four-hour battery storage is now cheaper than gas peakers in markets across the globe, and a spokesperson told Utility Dive that in the United States, for a 2026 commercial operation date, four-hour battery storage is 65% to 75% cheaper than new open-cycle gas turbine peakers, depending on whether state-level carbon pricing applies. The firm projects gas turbine prices rising to $600/kW by the end of 2027, a 195% increase since 2019, and says four-hour storage in the Middle East and Africa will fall 33% to $80/MWh by 2035.

Wood Mackenzie's latest global levelized cost of electricity report states that four-hour battery storage is now less expensive to install than open-cycle gas turbines in all 43 markets where both technologies were modeled, with storage in the Middle East and Africa forecast to fall 33% to $80/MWh by 2035 from $120/MWh in 2026. The report says single-axis tracker solar is the lowest-cost new-build technology in 43 of 48 modeled markets, and that in North America near-term solar costs face pressure from tariffs, antidumping and countervailing duty actions and new Section 232 import restrictions, with utility-scale solar partially protected by 168 GW of safe-harboured capacity.
