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.
The economic potential of solar power generation was projected to reach 79.7PWh by 2021, achieving cost parity with local coal power tariffs, as reported by Lu et al. (2021). Regarding wind energy, Liu et al. (2017) found that China's onshore wind power can generate up to 8.13PWh with a 2.5 MW wind turbine.
