The claim that wind power is too expensive and requires massive subsidies to be economically competitive is misleading. Wind power, both onshore and offshore, is increasingly cost-competitive with fossil fuels, and claims to the contrary fail to account for the declining costs and broader benefits of renewable energy.Onshore wind power currently offers the lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE) among all utility-scale energy sources in the United States, making it highly competitive without subsidies. The unsubsidized LCOE for onshore wind is around $50/MWh, which is significantly lower than gas combined cycle ($70/MWh), coal ($117/MWh), and gas peaking ($168/MWh).(2) While offshore wind is more expensive than onshore wind, its costs have decreased substantially in recent years, with the Department of Energy reporting a roughly 50% reduction in LCOE for fixed-bottom offshore projects since 2014.(3)Offshore wind energy also offers additional benefits, including generating more power due to stronger and steadier wind speeds compared to onshore sites.(3) Offshore wind farms are typically closer to population centers, reducing transmission costs. Additionally, when considering the broader economic impact of fossil fuels, such as climate change and public health costs, offshore wind becomes even more cost-effective. As technology improves and costs continue to drop, offshore wind will play a critical role in the transition to clean energy.(3)
