Accordingly, there will be several designs for scenarios, each representing either the lowest levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), maximum annual energy generation, load peak shaving during summer, and offer grid-stability to the countries’ energy system.
List of technologies options that may be included:
- Solar PV – Polycrystalline, Monocrystalline, Thin-film
- Wind – 3 Blades horizontal axis
