Socguy writes: The relentless downward march in cost of both solar + battery storage is poised to displace 10GW worth of natural gas peaker plant electricity production in the USA by 2027. Already we are seeing the net cost of combined solar + batteries cheaper than the equivalent natural gas peaker plant. Some particularly aggressive estimates from major energy companies predict that we may not see another natural gas peaker plant built in the USA after 2020. GE has already responded to the weakness in the gas turbine market by laying off 12,000 workers.
