The renewable energy role in the global energy Transformations
Solar PV and wind energy stand out as the forerunners. Specifically, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) from solar PV has seen a remarkable reduction, dropping by over 80% in the last decade [61]. This not only makes solar energy more affordable but also places it, in many regions, on par with or even cheaper than fossil fuels.
