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

Green Car Congress

The global benchmark levelized cost of electricity, or LCOE, has retreated to where it was in 2019. The cheapest renewable power projects in the first half of 2022 were able to achieve an LCOE of $19/MWh, as in best-in-class onshore wind farms in Brazil, and $21/MWh for tracking PV farms in Chile, and $57/MWh for offshore wind in Denmark.
