LCOE – variations over time Sample Clauses

LCOE – variations over time. A portion of the variation in the estimates presented in Figure 2 is due to changes over time, especially for renewables, which have experienced tremendous growth in the past 10 years and longer. Wind power in Europe has consistently experienced yearly growth rates of 25%, slowing slightly over the past five years to around 15% (XXXXX, 2015a). Over the same period of time, the global installed capacity of solar PV has increased from under 40 GW to over 220 GW in 2015 (averaging approximately 19% year- on-year growth) (IEA, 2016), with simultaneous increases in efficiency (XXXXX, 2014) . Such gains in installed capacity are believed to lead to lower costs thanks to technological learning rates. The learning curve literature suggests that every doubling of capacity is associated with significant cost decrease. These differ by technology; in the case of certain PV modules, for instance, XXXXX (2014) estimates learning rates as high as 22%. This, plus increased efficiency, are believed to lower LCOEs, as shown in Figure 3 below. This provides partial explanation for the wide range of costs for PV, as the LCOE for PV has dropped precipitously in the past ~5 years, with a reduction in average LCOE observed in the literature of almost 50% from 2009 to 2014, from $0.34 to $0.16 (OpenEI, 2016). This 2014 median price is in fact muc h closer to the estimated values from Alberici et al. Additionally, the relative popularity of solar PV in the EU may be contributing to lower perceived riskiness of investment, and thus may be associated with lower IRR and borrowing costs. This clearly would further lower the LCOE. $0,60 Changing LCOE for selected renewable technologies Constant 2010 USD $0,50 $0,40 $0,30 $0,20 $0,10 PV Wind (onshore) Wind (offshore) Biomass $0,00 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
