BNEF: cost of new renewables rises as inflation starts to bite

Green Car Congress

JULY 1, 2022

The cost of new-build onshore wind has risen 7% year on year, and fixed-axis solar has jumped 14%, according to the latest analysis by research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). The global benchmark levelized cost of electricity, or LCOE, has retreated to where it was in 2019.
