Lazard says fossil fuel costs double that of utility-scale photovoltaic solar power

The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for photovoltaic has fallen to between $29/MWh and $92/MWh, according to a new report from Lazard. Lazard has released a report analyzing LCOE, a critical measure of cost-efficiency of generation sources across technology types. The report found that onshore wind and utility-scale solar have the lowest LCOE by a … Continue reading Lazard says fossil fuel costs double that of utility-scale photovoltaic solar power

Levelized Cost Of Electricity: Solar power and wind energy are rapidly becoming competitive

Solar power and wind energy are rapidly becoming competitive with conventional electric generating technologies like natural gas and coal. At least that is what many of Wall Street’s most esteemed investment firms seem to be telling anyone willing to listen to them. Last week, Diane Cardwell, a reporter at the New York Times, did just … Continue reading Levelized Cost Of Electricity: Solar power and wind energy are rapidly becoming competitive
