A comparative study of the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for various power generation technologies.

This study provides an overview of the current and future levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for various power generation technologies. The LCOE for potentially newly constructed coal-fired power plants (hard coal and lignite) exceeds 15 €cents/kWh due to rising CO2 certificate prices. Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plants have lower LCOE, ranging between 10.9 and 18.1 €cents/kWh. Gas turbine […]
