Overview

Levelized cost of electricity database developed by Govinda Timilsina, Sr. Economist, Development Research Group This database is the result of the following study: Timilsina, Govinda R. (2020). “Demystifying the Costs of Electricity Generation Technologies”. World Bank Policy Research Working Paper, WPS 9303. World Bank Washington, DC. This database presents the cost of 11 electricity generation technologies when input variables take alternative values. The technologies are: solar PV (utility-scale), concentrated solar power, onshore wind, offshore wind, gas combined cycle, gas turbine, hydro, geothermal, coal, nuclear and biomass. The input variables taking alternative values are discount rate, capital costs, fixed O&M costs, capacity factor, economic life, heat rate, fuel price. There are more than four thousand LCOE presented in this database. This database could help find LCOE for any combination of input variables. Any error in the database is of authors; it should not be attributed to the World Bank Group. Contact: Govinda Timilsina, e-mail: gtimilsina@worldbank.org
