The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
World electric generation by country and source in 2022 [1] This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2022 and are sourced from Ember. [1]
