The cost of renewable energy is continuing to fall, according to the latest analysis from Lazard, and press coverage is focused on the fear of rates slowing as technologies mature. This may come as a red flag to developers, but Lazard’s forecast does NOT fully reflect the intricacies or greatest regions of potential in the energy market.
