Feasible mitigation actions in developing countries (2014, background): “While the potential for RE is usually seen 162 to be large, it is often still more expensive than fossil fuels(33,37), particularly when taking into account 163 costs of integrating variable renewable energy sources into the electricity grid.(38,39) Low institutional 164 capacities and credit constr”

High-resolution large-scale onshore wind energy assessments: A review of potential definitions, methodologies and future research needs (2021, neutral): “But it ignores system integration and other external costs and because project-specific data is often lacking, it usually relies on generic assumptions for the cost of capital [174] (see next sections).”
