Electricity From New Facilities – Reporting Completed

Previous reports on the costs of electricity production had been much appreciated within the energy sector and were widely cited in the political debate. Energiforsk therefore published an updated version of these reports, in which system services were also included.

Up-to-date figures were vital not only for the energy sector but also for society at large in order to enable a strategic and well-planned energy transition. Technological development and new energy sources entailed significant shifts in costs, which required new calculations in the previous report series El från nya anläggningar.

By calculating the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), an average price per kWh was obtained, making it possible to compare different potential energy investments.

What was new in this version of the report was that system services provided by different energy investments were also included in the calculations. The LCOE was supplemented with an analysis of values not reflected in the price per kWh. For example, significant value lay in the ability to deliver electricity of a certain quality to a specific geographical location at a given point in time.

    El från nya och framtida anläggningar 2011

    This report constitutes an updating and summary of the reports El från nya anläggningar 2007, which elaborates on the electricity generation technologies being implemented in new plants and the associated electricity productions costs at that time, and Future electricity and heat production technologies, which looks into continued development of today’s commercial technologies and potential technological developments in the future.
