Abstract:

GenCost is a collaboration between CSIRO and AEMO to deliver an annual process of updating electricity generation and storage costs with a strong emphasis on stakeholder engagement. This is the third update following the inaugural report in 2018 and a second report in 2019-20. The 2020-21 report incorporates updated current capital cost estimates commissioned by AEMO and delivered by Aurecon. Based on these updated current capital costs, projections of future changes in costs consistent with updated global electricity scenarios are also provided. Levelised costs of electricity (LCOEs) are also included and provide a simple summary of the relative competitiveness of generation technologies.
