3Frameworks

Framework

Are the financial returns attractive relative to fossil fuel portfolio?

What is the true levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) including integration risk?

Solar LCOE: $25–35/MWh (down 85% since 2010)

Onshore wind: $35–45/MWh (down 70% since 2015)

Grid integration & storage costs add $15–20/MWh

What are the revenue risks as fossil fuel demand declines?

Oil demand growth flattening: +0.5% CAGR vs. +2% historically

Long-term oil price assumptions dropping: $60–80/bbl (was $100+)

Can we execute renewable builds at scale while managing technical risk?

Do we have supply chain capacity to deploy 50GW by 2035?

Global panel production: 500GW/yr capacity (sufficient)

Skilled labor shortage in turbine installation across EU/US

Battery storage economics viable at grid scale?

Li-ion battery cost: $130–150/kWh (down 90% since 2010)

8–10 year cycle = ~15–20 cycles before replacement

Will fossil fuel companies dominate the renewables transition or face disruption?

What competitive advantage do incumbent oil majors have?

Capital access: can raise $10B+/yr at 4–5% cost of capital

Land access: own or control land for solar/wind in key regions

Grid expertise & transmission assets from oil/gas infrastructure

Threat from pure-play renewables (NextEra, Ørsted) or tech entrants?

NextEra Energy (150GW renewable capacity) growing 12% CAGR

Autonomous vehicle batteries + grid storage create new demand vectors

Can we navigate regulatory and geopolitical headwinds?

Will carbon taxes or bans on oil/gas accelerate faster than expected?

EU carbon border adjustment: €80–140/ton CO2 by 2030

Unilateral oil bans unlikely but LNG demand shifting: -2% annually

Geopolitical risk: energy nationalism and supply chain fragmentation?

Critical minerals (lithium, cobalt) concentrated in 3 countries: 60% supply

US Inflation Reduction Act creates renewable subsidy arms race
