Better wind turbine technology fuel lower costs
For their study, the researchers surveyed 140 wind energy experts worldwide on three wind applications – land-based, fixed-bottom offshore and floating offshore wind – to identify and compare potential changes in the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of a standard wind power project. The survey was similar to what Berkeley Lab conducted in 2015.
The LCOE refers to the cost of building and operating an energy asset over a lifetime. It is commonly used to determine whether a project will be worthwhile.
The respondents forecast that wind power’s LCOE would decrease 17 to 35 percent by 2035, and 37 to 49 percent by 2050. When technological advancements were considered, the respondents predicted even greater reductions of 38 to 53 percent by 2035 and 54 to 64 percent by 2050. Floating offshore costs would decline fastest, followed by fixed-bottom offshore costs.
