Renewables maintain their cost leadership in global power markets, IRENA’s new report on Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2024 confirms.  

The latest cost analysis from IRENA shows that renewables continued to represent the most cost-competitive source of new electricity generation in 2024.

2024 marks a pivotal moment in the global energy transition as renewable energy surges to unprecedented heights. Yet, despite the remarkable progress, the pace of change remains insufficient to meet the ambitious goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030

A quiet revolution is happening on the streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka. There is a new type of public transport running around the city. Locally known as tuk-tuks, these three-wheelers are no stranger to Sri Lankans, but these ones look quite different.

Renewables remain competitive despite fossil fuel prices returning closer to historical cost levels, concludes Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2023, released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) at the Global Renewables Summit during the UN General Assembly in New York today.

O custo nivelado da eletricidade produzida a partir da maioria das maioria das fontes de energia renovável continuou a diminuir ano após ano em 2023, com a energia solar fotovoltaica a liderar as reduções de custos, seguida da energia eólica offshore.

2023 年，大多数可再生能源发电的平准化成本继续逐年下降，其中太阳能光伏发电的成本降幅最大，其次是海上风电。

El coste nivelado de la electricidad producida a partir de la mayoría de las formas de energía renovable siguió disminuyendo año tras año en 2023, con la energía solar fotovoltaica a la cabeza de las reducciones de costes, seguida de la eólica marina.

استمرت التكلفة المستوية للكهرباء، المنتجة من معظم أشكال الطاقة المتجددة، في الانخفاض على أساس سنوي في عام 2023، وجاء انخفاض تكاليف الطاقة الشمسية الكهروضوئية على رأس هذه الانخفاضات، تليها طاقة الرياح البحرية.

The levelised cost of electricity produced from most forms of renewable power continued to fall year-on-year in 2023, with solar PV leading the cost reductions, followed by offshore wind.

Le coût nivelé de l'électricité produite à partir de la plupart des formes d'énergie renouvelable a poursuivi sa baisse en glissement annuel en 2023, avec l'énergie solaire photovoltaïque en tête des réductions de coûts, suivie de l'énergie éolienne en mer.

Key insights of annual Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2022 report, with insights into the latest trends in installed costs, capacity factors and the levelised cost of electricity for renewable energy technologies.

IRENA’s global renewable power generation costs study shows that the competitiveness of renewables continued to improve despite rising materials and equipment costs in 2022.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), in partnership with the Indian G20 Presidency, launched a new report on how low-cost finance can accelerate the energy transition.

This report identifies the pressing need for greater private sector engagement in the financing of energy transition projects, as well as closer public-private collaboration to sustain the net zero pathway.

Based on a new, unique dataset from a global survey, this IRENA report presents unprecedented insights on the cost of capital for onshore wind, offshore wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.

Highly efficient, electricity-driven heat pumps have a crucial role to play in decarbonising space and water heating in buildings.

This report provides an overview of heat pump technologies and their applications, discusses building stock and the implications for the use of heat pumps in both new and old buildings and examines recent market developments.

An overview of renewable energy costs based on the Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2021 report.

New IRENA report shows almost two-thirds of renewable power added in 2021 had lower costs than the cheapest coal-fired options in G20 countries.

IRENA's latest global cost study shows how the competitiveness of renewables continued amid the fossil fuel crisis and highlights cost trends for major renewable electricity sources.
