A growing number of energy experts are urging policymakers and industry leaders to retire the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) as the go-to metric for comparing clean energy technologies. A new report from the Clean Air Task Force (CATF), Beyond LCOE: A Systems-Oriented Perspective for Evaluating Electricity Decarbonization Pathways, argues … [continued]
Why are solar power and wind power dominating new power installations? Because they’re cheaper. The problem with some big purchases people make, and plenty of little purchases, is we look at the upfront cost of something instead of the long-term, lifetime cost. The good thing about purchases of big power … [continued]
Looking through Lazard’s recent LCOE (levelized cost of energy) report, in addition to the key headline points on renewable energy costs vs. fossil fuel and nuclear energy costs, I ran across some interesting notes the analysts made about energy storage projects in the USA. In particular, Lazard highlighted some effects … [continued]
Lazard recently released its latests analysis of LCOE (levelized cost of energy) for different power sources. As has been the case for the past several years, solar and wind power remain highly competitive (aka cheap). However, estimates on the high end of the price range have come down a bit … [continued]
Tigo TS4-X devices provide the latest in safety, monitoring, and optimization, including a new Multi-Factor Rapid Shutdown (MFRS) capability for critical applications, for solar installers deploying modules up to 800W Tigo Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: TYGO), a leading provider of intelligent solar and energy software solutions, today announced the newest additions to … [continued]
A wave energy device that resembles a deconstructed sea serpent has caught the eye of both public and private renewable energy investors.
Comparison Provides Insight Into Future Trends of Offshore Wind Energy
Wind and solar are far and away the least expensive sources of electricity available today, leading to major increases in both.
The idea that it costs a premium to go green and clean is long expired in the electricity industry. A new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) indicates that most of the renewable energy installed in G20 countries last year had lower costs than the absolute cheapest coal … [continued]
As the cost of capital goes up, the prospects for fossil fuel projects go down.
