Cost of Energy Technologies
Project Partner: Bloomberg New Energy Finance
New technologies are entering the market at an increasing pace. Understanding the real cost of all energy technologies is therefore fundamentally important for the development of coherent energy policies. The question of grid parity for evolving technologies and the cost externalities requires fact based assessment.
This work is analysing the entire range of energy technologies, from traditional fossil fuel sources to the latest renewable energy developments, to identify the actual cost. The study, undertaken with our project partner Bloomberg New Energy Finance, will add significantly to the debate surrounding the best technologies to deliver the global energy transformation.
“It is absolutely vital that policymakers, investors and energy industry executives have access to robust, up-to-the-minute data on the price landscape.” – Michael Liebreich, Chief Executive of Bloomberg New Energy Finance
The report will complement the World Energy Council’s strategic study on World Energy Resources.
