On average, new solar photovoltaic (PV) and onshore<br \/>\nwind power cost less than keeping many existing coal plants in operation, and auction results<br \/>\nshow this trend accelerating \u2013 reinforcing the case to phase-out coal entirely. Next year, up to<br \/>\n1 200 gigawatts (GW) of existing coal capacity could cost more to operate than the cost of<br \/>\nnew utility-scale solar PV, the report shows.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing the costliest 500 GW of coal with solar PV and onshore wind next year would cut<br \/>\npower system costs by up to USD 23 billion every year and reduce annual emissions by<br \/>\naround 1.8 gigatons (Gt) of carbon dioxide (CO2), equivalent to 5% of total global CO2<br \/>\nemissions in 2019. It would also yield an investment stimulus of USD 940 billion, which is<br \/>\nequal to around 1% of global GDP.<\/p>\n<p>Renewable electricity costs have fallen sharply over the past decade, driven by improving<br \/>\ntechnologies, economies of scale, increasingly competitive supply chains and growing<br \/>\ndeveloper experience. Since 2010, utility-scale solar PV power has shown the sharpest cost<br \/>\ndecline at 82%, followed by concentrating solar power (CSP) at 47%, onshore wind at 39%<br \/>\nand offshore wind at 29%.<\/p>\n<p>Costs for solar and wind power technologies also continued to fall year-on-year. Electricity<br \/>\ncosts from utility-scale solar PV fell 13% in 2019, reaching a global average of 6.8 cents<br \/>\n(USD 0.068) per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Onshore and offshore wind both declined about 9%,<br \/>\nreaching USD 0.053\/kWh and USD 0.115\/kWh, respectively.\u00a0<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/irena.org\/-\/media\/Images\/IRENA\/Agency\/Press-Release\/2020\/Jun\/costs2019_falling_LINES.gif?la=en&amp;hash=545318A41AF65764F7E92F03348381A7CB320C43\" alt=\"\" width=\"1134\" height=\"1134\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recent auctions and power purchase agreements (PPAs) show the downward trend<br \/>\ncontinuing for new projects are commissioned in 2020 and beyond. Solar PV prices based on<br \/>\ncompetitive procurement could average USD 0.039\/kWh for projects commissioned in 2021,<br \/>\ndown 42% compared to 2019 and more than one-fifth less than the cheapest fossil-fuel<br \/>\ncompetitor namely coal-fired plants. Record-low auction prices for solar PV in Abu Dhabi<br \/>\nand Dubai (UAE), Chile, Ethiopia, Mexico, Peru and Saudi Arabia confirm that values as low<br \/>\nas USD 0.03\/kWh are already possible.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, IRENA\u2019s annual report also looks at investment value in relation to falling<br \/>\ngeneration costs. The same amount of money invested in renewable power today produces<br \/>\nmore new capacity than it would have a decade ago. In 2019, twice as much renewable power generation capacity was commissioned than in 2010 but required only 18% more investment.<\/p>\n<p>Link to the original text: <a href=\"https:\/\/cutt.ly\/yogKQtk\">https:\/\/cutt.ly\/yogKQtk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renewable power is increasingly cheaper than any new electricity capacity based on fossil fuels, said in a new report by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":135,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[125],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
