Energy Technology Cost and Performance Data

Recent cost estimates for utility-scale and distributed generation (DG) renewable energy technologies are available across capital costs, operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, capacity factor, and levelized cost of energy (LCOE).

Use the tabs below to navigate the charts. Where available, links to utility-scale and DG data is available under the tab heading. The LCOE tab provides a simple calculator for both utility-scale and DG technologies that compares the combination of capital costs, O&M, performance, and fuel costs.
