The cost of wind energy and solar power keeps dropping
A new study from the International Renewable Energy Agency laying it out in detail. Large wind power farms got cheaper between 2010 and 2014. Large-scale solar power got a lot cheaper. And at least some renewable plants are even becoming competitive with new fossil-fuel plants: The chart shows the “levelized cost of electricity” for different … Continue reading The cost of wind energy and solar power keeps dropping

U.S. Wind Energy Installations Surpassed 4.7 GW Last Year: BNEF
Installations of wind power in the U.S. surged sixfold last year, making it the largest market for the technology worldwide after China. The U.S. added 4.7 gigawatts of new onshore wind energy capacity in 2014 compared with 764 megawatts a year earlier, largely due to the extension of the Production Tax Credit in January 2013, … Continue reading U.S. Wind Energy Installations Surpassed 4.7 GW Last Year: BNEF
