Summary
GBI
Research, a leading business intelligence provider, has released its latest
research, "Cost of Power Generation - Renewables Compete with Conventional
Alternatives as the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) is driven down by
Technological Developments and Mass Deployments". This report gives an
in-depth analysis of the cost of power generation, levelized cost of
electricity for different power generating technologies, both renewable and
conventional, in six major countries like the US, China, India, Germany, the UK
and Australia between 2011 and 2020. The report also provides information on
key trends, factors impacting the cost of power generation and electricity
prices.
