2017 Cost of Wind Energy Review
- National Renewable Energy Lab. (NREL), Golden, CO (United States)
This report uses representative utility-scale projects to estimate the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for land-based and offshore wind power plants in the United States. Data and results detailed here are derived from 2017 commissioned plants. More specifically, analysis detailed here relies on recent market data and state-of-the-art modeling capabilities to maintain an up-to-date understanding of wind energy cost trends and drivers. This annual report represents the seventh installment and is intended to provide insight into current component-level costs as well as a basis for understanding variability in LCOE across the country.
