The LCOE of natural gas power plants is directly driven by fuel prices, whereas once geothermal LCOE is locked in by capital expenditure, it is almost unaffected by external price fluctuations.

UnverifiedThe levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) covers full life-cycle investment, operations and maintenance, and fuel costs divided by total generation.71% similarUnverifiedFor geothermal, the largest share of LCOE is the capital expenditure on drilling and exploration, while fuel cost is zero.64% similarUnverifiedElectrification shifts the source of transport fuel to domestic power generation (natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, etc.), partially switching the transmission chain of price risk from the global oil market to the domestic electricity market, which is typically less volatile and regulated.63% similarUnverifiedA lower LCOE for photovoltaics than for nuclear power does not equate to a lower total cost for the power system.62% similarUnverifiedFuel cells generate electricity directly through the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen or hydrogen-containing fuels with oxygen, without going through multiple stages of energy conversion.55% similar
