The bidding costs for peaker plants have been beaten by renewable+storage combos for IIRC 2-3 years now for new builds of capacity. IF you think about it, the gas turbines are a fairly expensive capital cost with high maintenance vs renewables. Add to that intermittent operation and that capital costs performs even worse while adding maintenance wear and tear for startup/shutdown.
