"This study reviews the prospects of wind power at the global level. Existing studies indicate that the earth's wind energy supply potential significantly exceeds global energy demand. Yet, only 1 percent of the global electricity demand is currently derived from wind power despite 40 percent...

This study produces an attempt to estimate the cost of future global energy supplies. The approach chosen to address this concern relies on a comparative static exercise of estimating the cost of three energy scenarios representing different energy futures. The first scenario, the business as...

A number of renewable electricity generating technologies have not reached grid-parity in terms of cost. These include solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, tidal, wave, ocean, onshore wind and offshore wind power (new renewables henceforth). It is noticeable that the share of electricity from...
