Global Competitiveness of Renewable LCOE Continues to Accelerate

For solar photovoltaic energy, the LCOE of fixed-axis systems averages $66/MWh globally, with a wide range from $28/MWh to $117/MWh, reflecting the influence of geography, technological advancements, and regional market conditions. Single-axis tracking photovoltaic systems perform slightly better, with an average of $60/MWh and a range from $31/MWh to $103/MWh, reinforcing their growing role in utility-scale projects.

The Greek photovoltaic sector demands 8 GW of storage to mitigate energy curtailment.

HELAPCO, the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies, states that curtailments are expected to reach 1 TWh in 2024, representing 3.5% of total renewable energy production. They emphasize that between 7.5 GW and 8 GW of storage capacity is needed to address this issue. Additionally, they project surpassing the 2030 photovoltaic target of 13.5 GW and reaching 20 GW of installed capacity.
