The global benchmark levelized cost of electricity, or LCOE, has retreated to where it was in 2019. BloombergNEF’s estimates for the global LCOE for utility-scale PV and onshore wind rose to $45 and $46 per megawatt-hour (MWh), respectively, in the first half of 2022. The latter cost at $74 and $81 per MWh, respectively.
