I read a study last fall claiming that with current technology, renewables plus batteries is the cheapest way to generate power, up over 95%! Beyond that you’d have to way overbuild to catch rare weather events so keeping a few gas peaker power plants around are cheaper.
And that was before this years announcements on sodium batteries and aluminum batteries
