43. Lazard, 2. The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is a useful, albeit
imperfect, measure of the cost of electricity generated through different
technologies. With variable renewable energy comprising a significant part
of the energy mix in many countries, a system LCOE that accounts for
balancing and grid costs on top of LCOE is required.
