The integration costs of variable renewable energies must be considered

from Mapping the Energy Future · host The Institute of Energy Economics, Japan

This episode is talking about “The integration costs of variable renewable energies must be considered”. LCOE alone doesn’t reflect the true cost of power. When integration costs of variable renewables are included, solar becomes expensive at high penetration levels. In Japan and ASEAN, total costs rise sharply beyond 34–50% VRE. A cost-effective energy mix must consider these integration costs.
