Renewable energy has become an increasingly competitive way to meet new power generation needs. This comprehensive cost study from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) highlights the latest trends for each of the main renewable power technologies.

Costs from all commercially available renewable power generation technologies declined in 2018. The global weighted-average cost of electricity declined 26% year-on-year for concentrated solar power (CSP), followed by bioenergy (-14%), solar photovoltaic (PV) and onshore wind (both -13%), hydropower (-12%), geothermal and offshore wind (both -1%), the report finds.

The report by the Commission for Customers in Vulnerable Circumstances, launched last year by Energy UK and independently chaired by Lord Whitty, has highlighted that, despite  examples of good practice, the energy sector as a whole is not consistently meeting the needs of customers, with the quality and availability of support varying widely across the industry –  even sometimes within the same company.

The report says urgent action is required by all energy companies, regulators and government as well as price comparison websites (PCWs) – with support from consumer groups and charities – to better identify customers in vulnerable circumstances and improve the help and support given to them.

The power sector is playing a leading role in the decarbonisation of Europe, so it is critical to track the progress of the electricity transition as accurately and timely as possible.

For the third year in a row, Sandbag and Agora Energiewende have joined forces to update on the European electricity sector transition. Key topics include renewables growth, conventional power generation, electricity consumption, and CO₂ emissions.

Focused on the electricity system, our New Energy Outlook (NEO) combines the expertise of over 65 market and technology specialists in 12 countries to provide a unique view of how the market will evolve.

Each year we make a number of changes to NEO as we strive to improve the completeness and complexity of our analysis. In 2019, we have:
Added new scenarios on 2 degrees, electrified heat and road transport, and updated our coal phase-out scenario.
Added new sections on coal and gas power technology, the future grid, energy access, policy and the LCOE of phase II decarbonization technology such as CCS, biogas, hydrogen fuel cells, nuclear and solar thermal.
