#Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2021 from @IRENA is out
The headline isn't quite what you'd expect:
The global weighted average cost of new #solar #photovoltaics (#PV), onshore and offshore #WindPower projects fell in 2021.
Despite rising equp. costs.
Lets see why 1/n

@IRENA 1st up the data:
Year on year change:
⬇️LCOE of onshore wind projects added in 2021 fell by 15%, year-on-year, to USD 0.033/kWh
⬇️ Utility-scale solar PV and offshore wind LCOE fell by 13% year-on-year to USD 0.048/kWh & USD 0.075/kWh respectively
⬆️ CSP up 7% though

@IRENA This is despite rising equipment costs from the end of 2020, albeit unevenly.
Solar PV module prices in Europe up modestly in 2021, but looking to be 20% or more higher in 2022, given underlying materials and shipping cost increases, but perhaps more (more on that later...)

Die Photovoltaik ist aktuell die Technik, welche schnell und einfach zugebaut werden kann, um in den kommenden Jahren eine sichere Energieversorgung zu garantieren. Das Zusammenspiel mit der Wasserkraft ist sehr gut.

Es wäre aber wichtig, dass wir in der Schweiz auch bei der Windenergie endlich vorwärts machen können, um mehr eigenen Winterstrom ins Netz zu bekommen.
Wenn Du einen zukunftssicheren Job suchst, dann findest Du diesen in der Solarbranche! Aktuell suchen fast alle Firmen zusätzliche Mitarbeiter, um das Wachstum der nächsten Jahre stemmen zu können.

Long🧵on the provisions of #BuildBackBetter on all things #electricity & #grid. The act starts w/ ~3bn in loans for electric co-ops @NRECANews, incl. projects w/ #batteries. Co-ops have been very involved in @ENERGY-funded R&D & are now enabled to bring results to practice! 1/
It is funny that in my postdoc work @CMU_ECE & @NRECANews w/ @eeregov funding, we actually studied the added value of #battery to #photovoltaics for residential customers' energy cost savings: energy.gov/eere/solar/pro… & [1],[3], [4] here panay1ot1s.com/publications-s… 2/
Another ~10bn to co-ops for loans until 2031 to improve #resilience & #reliability w/ investments in #renewables & #transmission . Co-ops 'own' transmission lines & this money can motivate adjacent upgrades. Also critical that #renewables & #transmission appear together here! 3/
#TodayInEnergy - Average U.S. construction costs for #solar and #wind generation continue to fall go.usa.gov/xGNkv #electricity #photovoltaics #PV
The average construction cost for #solar #photovoltaic generators is higher than #wind and #naturalgas generators on a dollar-per-kilowatt basis, although the gap is narrowing as the cost of solar falls rapidly. go.usa.gov/xGNkv
Total U.S. #windenergy capacity additions increased 18% from 2017 to 2018 as the average construction cost for wind turbines dropped 16% to $1,382 per kW. go.usa.gov/xGNkv
