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

Green Car Congress

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. The latter cost at $74 and $81 per MWh, respectively.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Solar and Battery Companies Rattle Utility Powerhouses

Cars That Think

All eyes these days may be on Elon Musk's space venture—which has just put people in orbit —but here on Earth you can now get your monthly electric bill courtesy of a different Musk enterprise. A load-balancing trading operation is not quite the same as mainlining renewables to light a house. kWh battery wall unit.
