About IRENA The International Renewable Energy Agency IRENA serves as the principal platform for international co-operation, a centre of excellence, a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial knowledge, and a driver of action on the ground to advance the transformation of the global energy system. An intergovernmental organisation established in 2011, IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy, in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity. www.irena.org 3 Renewables are becoming more and more competitive in the energy landscape. The data from the IRENA Renewable Cost Database shows cost declines continued in 2020, with the cost of electricity from utility-scale solar photovoltaics PV falling 7 year-on-year, offshore wind fell by 9, onshore wind by 13 and that of concentrating solar power CSP by 16. The decade 2010 to 2020 saw dramatic improvement in the competitiveness of solar and wind power technologies. Between 2010 and 2020, the cost of electricity from utility-scale solar photovoltaics PV fell 85, followed by concentrating solar power CSP; 68, onshore wind 56 and offshore wind 48. The last decade has seen CSP, offshore wind and utility-scale solar PV all join onshore wind in the cost range for new capacity fired by fossil fuels, when calculated without the benefit of financial support. Indeed, the trend is not only one of renewables competing with fossil fuels, but significantly undercutting them. This is not just the case where new generating capacity is required. The analysis in this report shines a spotlight on how even existing coal plants are increasingly vulnerable to being undercut by new renewables. Indeed, our analysis suggests that up to 800 gigawatts GW of existing coal-fired capacity could be economically replaced by new renewables capacity, saving the electricity system up to USD 32 billion per year and reducing carbon-dioxide CO2 emissions by up to 3 gigatonnes Gt CO2. This would provide 20 of the emissions reduction needed by 2030 for the 1.5°C climate pathway outlined in IRENA’s World Energy Transitions Outlook. There is no room for these coal assets to be part of the energy future, retrofitting with carbon capture and storage would only increase costs. While the flexibility to integrate very high shares of renewables will come from other, cheaper sources, with IRENA having identified 30 options that can be combined into comprehensive solutions in the report Innovation landscape for a renewable powered future. IRENA has, for over a decade, highlighted the essential role renewable power generation will play in the energy transition, as the opportunities for cost reduction were time and again, demonstrated, and then, in many cases, exceeded as smart policy and the razor-sharp focus of industry combined to unlock better performance and lower costs. The insights from IRENA’s data bear witness to the fruits of IRENA’s pluriannual programme of work and its focus on providing our Member States with the facts they need to support the energy transition at home. With falling renewable power generation costs, updates to Nationally Determined Contributions NDC need to consider the opportunities that have emerged in recent years. Countries can be more ambitious, and IRENA is ready to support them in that process. This report also reinforces one of the key messages of our World Energy Transitions Outlook 2021, that very low-cost renewables can not only form the backbone of a decarbonised electricity system, but support a radically different future energy system where renewable hydrogen – derived from very low-cost renewable electricity – and modern biomass provide the last key to unlocking an affordable pathway to a 1.5°C future for us all. Now is the time to seize that opportunity.
