Welcome to the world of Renewable Energy
“In the field offshore wind, the price of the electricity produced has been divided by 2 in ten years, and the installation cost divided by around 1.5. In the land wind sector, the price of the electricity generated has been divided by around 2.5 in ten years and the installation cost divided by around 1.5.
These figures demonstrate the speed of performance improvements in new energy technologies!
At EDF R&D, our challenge is to grow innovation to allow the EDF group to access these technological advances that will keep on coming and integrate them to energy systems to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050 through more innovation!”
Etienne Brière, Director of R&D’s Renewables, Storage, Hydrogen and Environment Programme.
