Between 2021 and 2022, the global weighted average levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of ten newly commissioned geothermal projects fell by 22% to USD 0.056 kWh. This statistic was reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in their newly published document, “Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2022.”

When the electric grid is under strain, many electric utilities use the load shedding technique to lower demand and balance it with energy production. The idea is to turn off the power supply to certain areas on a cyclical basis, for example, two hours ON, then two hours OFF. The actual power gap now exceeds 8GW.
