The result will be renewables eating up more and more of the existing market for coal, gas and nuclear. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) from new PV plants is forecast to fall a further 71% by 2050, while that for onshore wind drops by a further 58%. Coal’s share in primary energy in 2017 fell to 27.6%, the lowest since 2004.
