World Energy Hits a Turning Point: Solar That's Cheaper Than Wind - Bloomberg

'A transformation is happening in global energy markets that’s worth noting as 2016 comes to an end: Solar power, for the first time, is becoming the cheapest form of new electricity. '

'The latest BNEF projections call for 70 gigawatts of newly installed solar in 2016 compared with 59 gigawatts of wind. '

'Still, the buildup of wind and solar takes time, and fossil fuels remain the cheapest option for when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine. '

'Auctions, where private companies compete for massive contracts to provide electricity, established record after record for cheap solar power. '

'This has happened in isolated projects in the past: an especially competitive auction in the Middle East, for example, resulting in record-cheap solar costs. '
