Le solaire passe de 54 à 48 GW, le nucléaire vise 400 TWh. La PPE3 pose un cadre stable pour les développeurs, mais la cannibalisation solaire va s'intensifier

Billions raised, early stages on delivery: can alternative LDES close the gap?

05 Feb 2026

Lithium-ion retains a structural cost advantage for durations up to 8-10 hours, but beyond 12 hours, some alternative technologies (liquid-air, CO₂ batteries, iron-air) show competitive theoretical levelised costs. The 2026 tenders will determine which can transition from demonstration to commercial deployment, as the window for proving viability narrows with lithium-ion prices falling 10-15% annually.
