IEA Wind Task 26

Maureen Hand, NREL (by contract)

IEA Wind TCP Task 26 –Report Launch Event

November 22, 2017; Lyngby, Denmark

Cost of Wind Energy

Objective: Provide information on cost of wind energy to understand past, present, and anticipated future trends using consistent, transparent methodologies as well as understand how wind technology compares to other generation options in the broader electric sector.

• Comparing land-based wind

cost of energy among

participating countries

• Exploring cost of offshore

wind energy and drivers

•Studying historic and

potential future trends for cost

of wind energy

• Investigating value of wind

energy in the electric sector
