Dec 30, 2016
U.S. consulting firm Lazard annual assessment of the whole life cycle of all kinds energy life-cycle cost(LCOE) in December 15 announced tenth version of Lcoe.
Without considering the federal government tax incentives under the condition of all kinds of energy level below cost interval:
--Conventional Energy
The natural gas power plant: 165-217 USD/MWh
Integrated gasification combined cycle: 94-210 USD/MWh
Nuclear power (excluding decommissioning costs)97-136 USD/MWh
Coal:60-143 USD/MWh
Natural gas combined cycle:48-78 USD/MWh
---alternative energy sources
Residential Roof: 138-222 USD/MWh
Commercial Roof: 88-193 USD/MWh
Community Ground photovoltaic: 78-135 USD/MWh
Polysilicon large ground photovoltaic: 49-61 USD/MWh
Thin film large terrestrial photovoltaic: 46-56 USD/MWh
Photo thermal power generation with energy storage: 119-182 USD/MWh
fuel cell: 106-167 USD/MWh
geothermal power generation: 79-117 USD/MWh
biomass power generation: 77-110 USD/MWh
Onshore wind power: 32-62 USD/MWh
If you consider federal tax incentives, then all types of alternative energy life cycle parity costs fell by 30%:
Residential Roof: 138-222 USD/MWh
Commercial Roof: 88-193 USD/MWh
Community Ground photovoltaic: 62-108 USD/MWh
Polysilicon large ground photovoltaic: 39-49 USD/MWh
Thin film large terrestrial photovoltaic: 36-44 USD/MWh
Photo thermal power generation with energy storage: 93-139 USD/MWh
fuel cell: 94-143 USD/MWh
geothermal power generation: 64-111 USD/MWh
biomass power generation:64-111 USD/MWh
Onshore wind power:14-48 USD/MWh
