Shift to “base-cost” renewables: 10 predictions for 2017
Old energy rules were all about locking in cheap base-load power, and supplementing it with more expensive capacity, generally gas, to meet the peaks. The new way is about putting in super-cheap, “base-cost” renewable power at the heart of the world’s grids.

Why rise of solar, and fall in costs, still shocks energy experts
Solar continues to defy its doubters, with capacity being built cheaper and fast than anyone predicted. Solar capacity is now expected to rise 10-fold to 3.4 million megawatts by 2040, with more than 100 million off-grid households to access solar in developing countries by 2020.
