Lazard do not factor in the cost of accommodating the vagaries of wind and solar into these figures.

As just one example - when the wind turbines aren’t running, your lights are still on. That power comes from somewhere and that somewhere has a cost to keep it available.

That cost is passed on to electricity consumers but not the source of the problem - wind and solar generators.
