Studie der International Renewable Energy Agency, 13.1.2018 (engl. Originalfassung)
After years of steady cost decline for solar and wind technologies, renewable power is becoming an increasingly competitive way to meet new generation needs. For projects commissioned in 2017, electricity costs from renewable power generation have continued to fall. (…) The fall in electricity costs from utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects since 2010 has been remarkable. (…) Continuous technological innovation remains a constant in the renewable power generation market. (…) These trends are part of a broader shift across the power generation sector to low-cost renewables.(…) The results of recent renewable power auctions confirm that cost reductions are set to continue through 2020 and beyond. (…) Onshore wind is one of the most competitive sources of new generation capacity. (…) Electricity from renewables will soon be consistently cheaper than from most fossil fuels. Falling renewable power costs signal a real paradigm shift in the competitiveness of different power generation options.
