6 FAQs about [Wholesale solar power generation costs]
How much does solar power cost?
The weighted average wholesale price for solar PV-generated electricity was $83 per megawatthour (MWh) in 2019, more than double the price paid to producers for electricity generated by wind, fossil fuels, or nuclear. The higher average wholesale price for solar PV relative to other technologies is partly driven by geography and timing.
What drives wholesale electricity prices?
Wholesale electricity prices are driven by numerous forces, including a growing amount of wind and solar power. Market forces can include generation costs affected by fuel prices (especially natural gas), or high levels of demand driven by hot weather (such as air conditioning), or tight markets where demand is nearly equal to all available supply.
How does electricity price change in wholesale markets?
In wholesale markets, the price of electricity changes based on changes in electricity demand, the price of fuels that power plants use to generate electricity, and the availability of the generation fuel sources.
Why are solar PV prices so high?
The higher average wholesale price for solar PV relative to other technologies is partly driven by geography and timing. Wholesale electricity prices are the prices that electricity retailers, such as utilities, pay electricity producers, such as power plant owners and operators.
What happened to wholesale electricity prices in 2023?
Figure 1. Average wholesale electricity price (2023$/MWh) declined in 2023 compared to 2021 and 2022. Average prices are calculated based on all nodes and hours within each of the 7 major ISOs/RTOs, and represent hourly average prices in the real time markets.
How much does solar PV cost in California?
About one-third of all U.S. solar PV capacity is located in California, where the average wholesale electricity price across all technologies was $74/MWh in 2019, more than double the national average of $36/MWh. The weighted average wholesale solar PV price in California was $100/MWh, or more than 20% higher than the national average for solar PV.
