A new metric for assessing total system costs puts a least-cost mix of offshore wind and solar at about €46 ($54.20)/MWh in a future climate-neutral energy system for Denmark. Researchers tell pv magazine that figure is less than half the equivalent cost of nuclear under the same conditions.
This is a really bad linear fit of the graph. If you remove the pre-2010 data for China (just 5 data points), the trend of prices in China is actually upwards or just barely neutral.
Of course, nuclear is a great baseload source. But the construction costs are real.
Linear fit or not, still about an order of magnitude below western prices
Well, yeah. That’s just a given for China
