However, the 3.2% quarter-on-quarter growth in solar is notable as this is a much higher rate of growth than for blended PPAs, and a sharp contrast to the decline in average prices for wind PPAs. In the third quarter, the average solar PPA price reached US$59.77/MWh, meaning the month-on-month price increase amounts to more than
North American solar PPA prices climb to US$61.67/MWh, European prices continue to fall Read More »
