This report on electricity generating costs presents the latest data
available for a wide variety of fuels and technologies, including coal
and gas (with and without carbon capture), nuclear, hydro, onshore and
offshore wind, biomass, solar, wave and tidal as well as combined heat
and power (CHP). It provides levelised costs of electricity (LCOE) per
MWh for almost 200 plants, based on data covering 21 countries
(including four major non-OECD countries), and several industrial
companies and organisations. For the first time, the report contains an
extensive sensitivity analysis of the impact of variations in key
parameters such as discount rates, fuel prices and carbon costs on LCOE.
Additional issues affecting power generation choices are also
examined.
