CSIRO’s latest 2023-24 GenCost consultation draft report has found that renewables have the lowest cost range of any new-build energy technology, even when considering additional integration costs such as storage and transmission. LINK to CSIRO site
the annual report tells of falling costs expected for all forms of renewable energy combined alongside increasing costs for Small Nuclear Reactor energy by 2030.
sorry @pints and others who support nuclear. really it makes good sense and I maintain there will be a place for SMRs in the future but the cost/benefit balance is tilted away by this report.
