Clean technology cost projections: investment and levelized costs of solar, wind, battery, and hydrogen.

ABSTRACT: Reliable cost projection data is critical for energy system modelling, guiding policy and investment decisions that underpin the global energy transition. In this work, we compile and standardise a broad dataset from over 110 existing regional and global studies to provide an organised and spatio-temporally granular dataset of cost projections for major clean energy technologies. The dataset covers Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and Levelised Costs of Electricity or Hydrogen (LCOE or LCOH) for utility-scale and rooftop photovoltaics, onshore and offshore wind power, grid-scale Li-ion batteries, concentrated solar thermal power, and large-scale alkaline and PEM electrolysers. The data span national, continental, and global scales, with annual granularity through 2050 and metadata for source t
