- Based on 20 years of data, energy storage would have to cost $10 to $20/kWh for a 100% wind-solar mix with storage to be beat a nuclear power plant providing baseload electricity; against a natural gas peaker plant, this falls to $5/kWh. But if it is only 95% wind-solar, it can be $150/kWh. https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(19)30300-9 12 comments energy
