The central findings of the LCOE study are:

1) Certain Alternative Energy technologies are cost competitive with conventional generation under some scenarios, although the rate of cost declines is somewhat muted in this iteration vs. over the last five years;

2) The necessity of investing in diverse generation resources for integrated electric systems for the foreseeable future; and…

3) The importance of rational and transparent policies that support a modern and increasingly clean energy economy.
