Technical FAQs 4

Are wind and solar power the fastest growing energy source?

Wind and solar power are the fastest growing electricity sources in our energy mix – but how does the cost of these renewables compare to other forms of generation?

Why is onshore wind generation so expensive?

This is despite the fact that the cost of onshore wind generation technology increased by 8 per cent over the last year, as a result of inflationary pressures that had a disproportionate impact on the wind industry’s material inputs and supply chains.

Which countries have the highest solar power costs in 2023?

• In 2023, the global weighted average costs of electricity from newly-commissioned utility scale solar photovoltaic (PV), onshore wind, offshore wind, concentrated solar power (CSP) and hydropower fell. • China represented the largest market for solar PV (63%), onshore wind (66%), offshore wind (65%) and hydropower (44%) in 2023.

Are solar PV projects reducing the cost of electricity in 2022?

Between 2022 and 2023, utility-scale solar PV projects showed the most significant decrease (by 12%). For newly commissioned onshore wind projects, the global weighted average LCOE fell by 3% year-on-year; whilst for offshore wind, the cost of electricity of new projects decreased by 7% compared to 2022.
