IEA report finds cost of #windpower generation dropping as #technology improves: #windworks

IEA report finds cost of wind generation dropping as technology improves Posted: 2012-06-07 Tom Gray IEA Wind , a cooperative technology research and analysis effort of the International Energy Agency, has released a new report which confirms that the cost of wind-generated electricity in the U.S. and Denmark is at an all-time low due to performance improvements driven by advances in wind technology. As its title suggests, the report, "The Past and Future Cost of Wind Energy," is aimed at understanding factors which have influenced the cost of delivered wind energy in the past and using that information to estimate future cost trends. Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) worked on the report along with European analysts. According to an announcement from LBNL's Ryan Wiser NREL's Eric Lantz, key fi...
