Missed Aegir’s latest Wavelength Intelligence Briefing on LCoE last week?

Here are some key take-aways from analyst Sebastian Kæmpe Hansen and Chief Executive Editor Darius Snieckus’ Wavelength discussion on rethinking LCoE for offshore wind’s post-correction industrialization:

  • The drive for ever-lower levelized cost of energy from offshore wind projects in the last decade has negatively impacted developers - rippling ‘downstream’ into the supply chain – and often led to miscommunication and false interpretation of cost/MWh. 
  • There are a range of 'right ways' to calculate LCoE but if numbers are being shared without the accompanying assumptions behind the unit or metric then the final MWh figure can be reductionist and even misleading.
  • Moving ’beyond LCoE’ - factoring in a range of inputs from the social value of a project (jobs, clean power and environmental benefits) through to whether adding an energy storage solution for low wind days would improve efficient delivery to the grid - will take the industry beyond a simple cost/MWh formula and increase a project's true value but will generally also mean a higher LCoE 'on paper'.
