Grid Parity for Wind and Solar Power - Future Outlook and Impact Analysis

Summary

"Grid Parity for Wind and Solar Power - Future Outlook and Impact Analysis" is the latest report from GlobalData, the industry analysis specialists that offer comprehensive information and understanding of the wind and solar power markets.

The research provides historical and forecast (2006-2020) installed capacity for global wind and solar PV market. The report analyzes Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for wind and solar PV in major countries such as the US, Germany, Italy, the UK, China and India. LCOE for solar PV and wind is compared with conventional fuel sources such as coal, Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and nuclear power. The report provides analysis on solar PV grid parity and its future outlook for the abovementioned countries.

The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, secondary research and in-house analysis by GlobalData's Team of industry experts.

Scope

The report analyses Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for wind and solar PV and its scope includes -

- Market overview for solar and wind power in the world and for the key countries such as the US, Germany, Italy, the UK, China and India.

- Historical and forecast (2006-2020) installed capacity statistics for global and key countries is discussed in detail.

- The report analyzes Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for wind and solar PV in major countries.

- Comparison of solar PV and wind LCOE with conventional fuel sources such as coal, Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and nuclear power.

- LCOE comparison with average retail electricity prices to estimate grid parity.

Reasons to buy

The report will enhance your decision making capability. It will allow you to -

- Facilitate decision making based on strong historic and forecast data for the wind and solar markets.

- Estimate future cost trends in solar and wind markets.

- Understand the cost of generation for wind and solar power in major countries such as the US, Germany, Italy, the UK, China and India and frame strategies based on future outlook .

- Position yourself to maximize potential in the growth markets of solar and wind.
