13 there is strong agreement in the literature that a diversified mix of low-co 2 generation resources offers the best chance of affordably achieving deep decarbonization. 13
14 The Mental Model A race to beat fossil fuels on cost Levelized cost of electricity ($/MWh) $200 $150 $100 $50 $0 Solar $/MWh Solar GW Coal $/MWh Gas $/MWh Global installed solar PV capacity (GW) Data Source: Lazard (2017), Levelized Cost of Energy 2017, h?ps:// cost- of- energy- 2017/. 14
15 The (Flawed) Mental Model? 15
16 The (Correct) Mental Model A race between declining cost and declining value Solar PV average market value ($/kwh) Solar PV market share (% of total annual energy) Source: Sivaram & Kann (2016), Solar needs a more ambi0ous cost target, Nature Energy Vol. 1 (April 2016). 16
17 GenX: Power System Optimization Highly configurable Detailed operating constraints Hourly resolution Transmission & distribution networks Distributed energy resources 17
18 Declining Value: Four Mechanisms 1. Declining fuel-saving value (energy substitution) 2. Decreasing capacity value (capacity substitution) 3. Increasing curtailment (wasted generation when supply exceeds demand) 4. (Increasing reserve requirements and transmission network costs) 18

42 Policy Insights 1. Policy makers should not compare resources using cost; must consider value and distinct roles in a specific system context. 42
43 Policy Insights 2. Policy support should not exclude nuclear or carbon capture and storage; they play distinct flexible base role 43
44 Policy Insights 3. Technology policy needs to make multiple bets in each class of resource, including flexible base resources 44
45 Policy Insights 4. Not a straight-line path to zero carbon; beware lock-in from myopic policymaking 45
46 Policy Insights 5. Given uncertainty, policies should, where possible, create and preserve maximum optionality and avoid lock-in and dead ends 46
