Condensation on windows is a problem for many homeowners, and it can occur in all types of buildings. Singled-glazed windows are a primary cause of condensation, though many modern day double-glazed windows do condensate. This is usually due to poor manufacturing and inadequate installation.
To put this in context, construction of a 500 MW power plant for the different energy sources would cost around: 1  $1.8 billion for a solar power plant. 2  $1.5 billion for a typical coal plant. 3  $2.6 billion for a coal plant with CCS. 4  $482 million for a natural gas plant.
The BNEF study shows that the global average levelised cost of electricity, or LCOE, for onshore wind nudged downwards from $85 per megawatt-hour in the first half of the year, to $83 in H2, while that for crystalline silicon PV solar fell from $129 to $122.n China, onshore wind is cheaper than gas-fired power, at $77 per MWh versus $113, but it is much more expensive still than coal-generated electricity, at $44, while solar PV power is at $109.
