Cheapest Sources of Energy to Produce Electricity, Ranked - ScienceInsights

Onshore wind is currently the cheapest source of energy for producing electricity, with a global average cost of $0.034 per kilowatt-hour (or $34 per megawatt-hour). Utility-scale solar comes in a close second at $0.043/kWh. Both are significantly cheaper than any fossil fuel or nuclear option for new power plants, and the gap continues to widen.
