How much does solar PV cost in Phnom Penh?

Near-term LCOE results range from approximately $75 USD/MWh in regions close to the capital, Phnom Penh, to approximately $105 USD/MWh along the western coast. The average cost of generation within 20 km for solar PV in this scenario is $86.7 USD/MWh.

How much does solar PV cost per unit?

The existence of high-quality solar and wind energy resources plays a significant role in the estimated cost per unit of generation. For the Moderate Technical Potential Scenario, solar PV LCOEs range from $64 to $246 USD/MWh, with an estimated 42 TW of cumulative potential capacity available within this LCOE range for solar PV.

How much is LCOE for solar PV?

Figure 6 shows the variations in LCOE for Solar PV within the Moderate Technical Potential Scenario and with a capacity factor of more than 10%. In this scenario, the LCOE ranges from $64 USD/MWh in Vietnam to more than $200 USD/MWh in Indonesia.

Does Cambodia have a solar PV LCOE?

Solar PV LCOE for near-term opportunities in Cambodia (≤ 20 km of transmission and Moderate Technical Potential Scenario exclusions). Within 20 km of the existing grid in Cambodia, there is an estimated total technical potential capacity of 2,081 MW.

Why are LCOE values different for solar PV?

Variations in the LCOE for solar PV result both from changes in energy resource quality (capacity factor), with lower LCOE values associated with high resource quality, and from changes in economic (e.g., inflation and tax rates) and techno-economic (e.g., installation and O&M costs) assumptions across countries.

How much does wind cost in Vietnam & Lao PDR?

In this scenario, estimated LCOEs for wind range from approximately $42 USD/MWh in Vietnam to more than $200 USD/MWh in Lao PDR. Figure 8 also shows that a significant amount of area in the region is excluded (colored white) as a result of the wind resource quality filter, which excludes areas with capacity factors of 15% or less.
