Beyond LCOE: A Systems-Oriented Perspective for Evaluating Electricity Decarbonization Pathways
Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) is a widely used standardized metric to assess electricity generation project costs per expected generation output. Often used to compare technology costs, LCOE has become a ubiquitous metric used in electricity industry literature, cost forecasts, project business cases, and policy making. The LCOE metric is…
