About the Report
Wind power is capital intensive with most of the
investment required upfront. The largest capital cost
component is the turbine itself which can account for
between 40% and 80% of the total capital cost of an
onshore wind installation.
Costs offshore are higher because of the more expensive
operating environment and the greater difficulty
establishing a foundation so the proportion of capital cost
taken by the turbine is generally lower than onshore.
Turbine cost fell from 1980 until 2002 when prices started
to rise again, peaking in 2009 before falling further.

Key Findings:
India ($1,080/kW - $1,250/kW) and China ($1,360/kW –
1,370/kW) show the lowest capital costs and the USA
($1,830/kW) and Brazil ($1,670/kW) the highest..
By 2014 the LCOE for a plan entering service in 2019 had
fallen to $204/MWh.
The lowest costs recorded in the table are in India,
where the LCOE ranges from $47/MWh - $113/MWh, and
China where the cost is estimated to be $49/MWh -
$93/MWh.
The range of levelized costs found for onshore wind was
$75/MWh to $150/MWh.
Offshore wind had a range of $130/MWh – 285/MWh
and large solar PV $165/MWh to $400/MWh.

Key Highlights:
Technological advances and greater overall efficiency are
continuing to bring costs down.
This is feeding into capital cost trends which are
following turbine prices by falling.
There are regional variations in capital costs, with costs
lower in India and China than in Europe or the USA but
regional differences are narrowing as the market becomes
more global.
With capital cost the dominant component of the cost of
energy, the levelized cost of electricity from wind plants is
falling too and onshore wind is beginning to compete with
other technologies, particularly new coal.

6. www.MarketResearchReports.com
Key Highlights Continues…
There is a growing consensus that onshore wind will
reach parity in many parts of the world by the end of the
decade, if not before.
The cost of wind power has continued to fall compared
to many other technologies over the past five years and is
now approaching the level at which it can compete with
conventional technologies.
Power from natural gas and coal remains cheaper
(without carbon capture and storage) but the steady
growth in renewable penetration from both wind and
wind power is leading to coal and gas-fired plants
operating for less of the time, a factor which adversely
affects their economics.
