Introduction and general considerations
Cost datasets list investment costs, fuel costs, variable and fixed operational and maintenance (VOM and FOM) costs of energy conversion, storage and transmission technologies. They may also contain emission costs.
Typically they provide an analysis of historical costs and project future costs (e.g. for 2030, 2050) with appropriate uncertainty ranges. Projections must be treated with caution given that the costs of some technologies (solar, offshore wind and batteries) are changing fast.
The databases have very different scope, with some covering only renewable technologies, while others include all generation, heating and storage technologies.
