These benchmarks help measure progress toward goals for reducing solar electricity costs and guide SETO research and development programs. Read more to find out how these cost benchmarks are modeled and download the data and cost modeling program below.
Solar PPA prices have fallen even more drastically than wind: between 2006 and 2013, levelized PPA prices for ground-mounted solar photovoltaic arrays larger than 5 MWAC in capacity fell by an average of $20-$30/MWh annually and by $11/MWh from 2015 to 2016 to $35/MWh 3.
For wind and solar PV, in particular, the cost favorability of the lowest-cost regions compound the underlying variability in regional cost and create a significant differential between the unadjusted costs and the capacity-weighted average national costs as observed from recent market experience.
Compliance-eligible RECs (excluding solar RECs) have reached $60 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in some states in the last few years. Some states have solar carve-out policies. A solar carve-out policy is a special requirement of an RPS that mandates utilities procure solar RECs (SRECs) generated in the state or pay an alternative compliance fee.

(1) The capacity fee is calculated as 3.9 percent of the project''s annual gross proceeds from the sale of electricity produced by the renewable energy project. The capacity fee is due
Table 1 represents our assessment of the cost to develop and install various generating technologies used in the electric power sector. Generating technologies typically found in end-use applications,
Both the acreage rent and MW capacity fee are paid in advance annually during the term of the grant or lease, in accordance with regulations and guidance. Payments may also include bids, which are
This report, produced by the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), presents results from an analysis of distributed solar interconnection and deployment processes in the United States.
Each jurisdiction has its own set of requirements dictating specific documentation, fees, and timeframes. Governments aim to streamline this process to enhance efficiency and attract more

NLR analyzes the total costs associated with installing photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential rooftop, commercial rooftop, and utility-scale ground-mount systems. This work has grown
On May 26, 2022, pursuant to the authority under the Energy Act of 2020, the BLM published reduced per acre rent rates and capacity fees in Chapter 6 of its Manual of Rent for Rights of Way to promote
