The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) has decreased considerably between 2010 and 2018 for several utility-scale renewable electricity generation technologies, such as solar photovoltaics, with a decrease of around 77 percent during this period. On the other hand, geothermal electricity generation costs increased by 50 percent between 2010 and 2018.
