LAZARD''S LEVELIZED COST OF HYDROGEN ANALYSIS Overview of Analysis Lazard has undertaken an analysis of the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen ("LCOH") in an effort to provide greater clarity to Industry participants on the ("LCOE") and Levelized Cost of Storage ("LCOS") studies. Given this breadth, we have decided to focus the
Lazard''s latest annual Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis (LCOE 14.0) shows that as the cost of renewable energy continues to decline, certain technologies (e.g., onshore wind and utility-scale solar), which became cost-competitive with conventional generation several years ago on a new-build basis, continue to maintain competitiveness with the marginal cost of selected existing
Lazard''s latest LCOE shows the continued cost-competitiveness of certain renewable energy technologies, and the marginal cost of coal, nuclear, and combined-cycle gas generation. Levelized Cost of Storage: Version 8.0. The central findings of our LCOS analysis reinforce what we observe across the Power, Energy & Infrastructure Industry

potentially disruptive role of hydrogen across a variety of economic sectors. Our LCOH builds upon, and relates to, our annual Levelized Cost of Energy ("LCOE") and Levelized Cost of Storage ("LCOS") studies. Given this breadth, we have decided to focus the analysis on the following key topics:
LAZARD''S LEVELIZED COST OF ENERGY ANALYSISVERSION 14.0— Does not include cost of transportation and storage.

levelized cost of energy gas peaking fellof 2% and the mean levelized cost of energy of combined cycle gas has declined 4%. • The low end levelized cost of onshore wind-generated energy is $29/MWh, compared to an average illustrative marginal cost of $36/MWh for coal. The levelized cost of utility -scale solar is nearly identical

Some studies differentiate between net internal costs of storing electricity, which excludes electricity price and storage efficiency, and cost per unit of discharged electricity, which includes both. 14 This lack of common methodology is reflected in the different names that are used to describe LCOS, such as levelized cost of stored energy, 8
Levelized Cost of Storage. Lazard''s latest annual Levelized Cost of Storage Analysis (LCOS 7.0) shows that year-over-year changes in the cost of storage are mixed across use cases and technologies, driven in part by the confluence of emerging supply chain constraints and shifting preferences in battery chemistry. Additional highlights from
Lazard''s 2024 LCOE+ report highlights that, as expected, macro pressures, including high interest rates, have raised the lower end of our LCOE for certain renewables. Levelized Cost of Storage.

Lazard''s Levelized Cost of Energy+ (LCOE+) is a U.S.-focused annual publication that combines analyses across three distinct reports: Energy (LCOE, 17 th edition), Storage, (LCOS, 9 th edition) and Hydrogen (LCOH, 4 th edition). Lazard first started publishing its comparative analysis of various generation technologies in 2007.
