Problem solved then?

We should give the folks at model.energy the next peace prize for their effort.

You don't have to go that far, but you could at least listen honestly to what that model, and what more complex models, are telling you.

  • You're answering to a post I made saying that prices that were quoted from the Lazard report don't reflect all that's writen in the report.

    Your answer gives a model unrelated to the figures I was discussing, with extremely agressive prices [1] set as hypotheses and zero network costs factored in. Sure, I can accept it as a minimum limit for the cost of a system, but that's not a very useful information, and you're not quoting this price as a lower limit either.

    I don't see an honesty issue here, just someone believing that spherical cows are going to produce milk tomorrow.

    [1]: e.g. the Lazard report quotes utility PV at $29-92/MWh, while your tool quotes it at 21.7€/MWh.
