AI Customer ServiceThe key insight of the 2020 edition of Projected Costs of Generating Electricity is that the levelised costs of electricity generation of low-carbon generation technologies are falling and are increasingly below the costs of conventional fossil fuel generation.
Between 2022 and 2023, utility-scale solar PV projects showed the most significant decrease (by 12%). For newly commissioned onshore wind projects, the global weighted average LCOE fell by 3% year-on-year; whilst for offshore wind, the cost of electricity of new projects decreased by 7% compared to 2022.
Solar PV and battery systems are highly competitive on an LCOE basis at utility-scale (21–165 €/MWh el) with overall market costs of electricity depending on local costs, and at residential scale (40–204 €/MWh el) depending on consumer costs of electricity including taxes, transmission costs, and distribution costs.
Nevertheless, in terms of the LCOE of the median plant, onshore wind and utility scale solar PV are, assuming emission costs of USD 30/tCO 2, the least cost options. Natural gas CCGTs are followed by offshore wind, nuclear new build and, finally, coal.
Projected Costs of Generating Electricity – 2020 Edition is the ninth report in the series on the levelised costs of generating electricity (LCOE) produced jointly every five years by the International Energy (IEA) and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) under the oversight of the Expert Group on Electricity Generating Costs (EGC Expert Group).
A comprehensive review by Climate Advisers (Grausz, 2011) of the total social cost of different forms of electricity generation determined that the work of Rafaj and Kypreos (2007) provided the most comprehensive estimates of the external costs of electricity generation.
