The Chinese government has set long-term carbon neutrality and renewable energy (RE) development goals for the power sector. Despite a precipitous decline in the costs of RE technologies, the external costs of renewable intermittency and the massive inve

China is expected to see its economy rebound, driving the growth rate of electricity consumption higher than that in 2022. Under normal weather conditions, it is estimated that the country's electricity consumption will be 9.15 trillion kilowatt-hours, an increase of about 6...
As power consumption is likely to increase this year, the CEC proposed a series of measures to ensure energy supply, which include increasing the ability to supply coal, reducing the cost of coal-fired power generation, and accelerating planning, investment and construction of power grids. ...
electricity prices rose in 2022 and 2023 due to inflation. Since then, inflation has moderated so we expect less of a price increase in 2024. US grid electricity depends on fossil fuels which includes oil and natural gas, as well as a growing share of renewables and nuclear power. ...
Texas energy prices typically increase in the summer and decrease as temperatures decline in the cooler months. According to the latestEIA energy outlook, oil prices are expected to decrease due to more production than demand. On the other hand, natural gas prices may increase due to higher dema...

The principle of MGA is to relax the cost-optimal spatial allocation with an acceptable relative cost increase called slack and to search for maximally different scenarios. For ...
The approach in computing the levelized cost of energy is similar to the concept of assessing the net present value of a project, hence the LCOE is used to determine whether or not a project is a worthwhile investment (CFI Team, 2023). The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) refers to ...
Lebanon started using solar power as late as 2010. Since then, the country saw a rapid capacity increase to 1000 MW in June 2023, which, with a lower capacity factor, is equivalent to 700 MW of conventional electricity, said Pierre el Khoury, the general director of the Lebanese Center of...
