Economic stranding potential

This data is an estimate of the potential cost savings from retiring coal or gas plants in a particular year and replacing them with new renewable energy capacity.

Economic potential stranding (US$/MWh) = capacity-weighted long-run marginal cost of coal (or gas)levelized cost of energy of new renewables (wind or solar)

Any dot above 0 US$/MWh indicates that it is cheaper to replace coal or gas with new renewables. The higher the dot, the higher the potential for economic stranding of fossil fuels.

You can also toggle battery storage costs, and sort according to each technology replacement.
