> In this report, where we make a comparison between the costs of variable renewables such as
solar PV and wind and the costs of other technologies we include the cost of firming those
renewables which we call integration costs. These are the additional costs of ensuring supply is
reliable when using intermittent energy sources. These integration costs are itemised in the report
and include storage, transmission, system security and spilled energy
Australia updates their GenCost every year, which feeds into their Integrated System Plan. The draft of this year's is up for public comments:
