Bloomberg NEF forecasts falling battery prices enabling surge in wind and solar to 50% of global generation by 2050

Green Car Congress

We see $548 billion being invested in battery capacity by 2050, two thirds of that at the grid level and one third installed behind-the-meter by households and businesses. The result will be renewables eating up more and more of the existing market for coal, gas and nuclear. trillion of that going to wind and solar and a further $1.5
