Estimated unsubsidized levelized cost of energy in the U.S. by technology 2018
Estimated unsubsidized levelized costs of energy generation in the U.S. in 2018, by technology (in U.S. dollars per megawatt hour)
This statistic shows the estimated unsubsidized levelized costs for generation technologies in the United States in 2018, by energy technology. During this time, the levelized cost of community solar PV systems had a low estimate of 73 U.S. dollars per megawatt to a high estimate of 145 U.S. dollars per megawatt. Potential social and environmental externalities and reliability-related considerations were not taken into account.
