This year has brought a significant shift in the generating cost comparison between renewable energy and fossil fuels, according to detailed analysis by technology and region, published this week by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. In the US, coal and gas are still cheaper, at $65 per MWh, against onshore wind at $80 and PV at $107.
