When Will Cheap Offshore Wind Come to America? – Greentech Media (blog)

We've heard a lot about record-low prices in utility-scale solar. Get ready for more records in offshore wind. In the last two months, we've seen offshore project developers in Europe bidding for pennies per kilowatt-hour -- easily beating 2020 price estimates.

Now the Europeans want to export that learning to America. In this week's episode, we'll look at how the two markets compare -- and why some of the market and policy conditions that favor offshore wind developers in Europe don't exist in the U.S.

Then, Energy Secretary Rick Perry wants to know if renewable energy is a danger to Americas grid. His recent memo on energy markets was only a page and a half long, but it was packed with a lot of assumptions -- and we'll unpack them ourselves.

Finally, we'll discuss Plug Powers deal with Amazon. Its not just about fuel cells -- its about finding any cost advantage in the ultra-competitive retail sector.
