The national average levelized cost of power purchase agreements (PPA) has reached $20 per megawatt hour ($20/MWh), or 2 cents per kilowatt hour, with a number of projects in the Interior region venturing below 2 cents.

Solar power is also experiencing explosive growth, with over 80,000 megawatts of solar power capacity entered in to queues last year…[W]ith new planned nuclear and coal units virtually eliminated, it’s clear there are massive changes underway in the electric markets…” click here for more
