Looking for unit cost of electricity produced by energy source

chris85

Hey all doing a little research on a paper for college and trying to find an good estimate of the cost per kWh for different energy sources (Oil, peat, coal, wind, solar) and how the cost is made up (capital costs, maintenance, fuel, etc).

Anyone know where could find this for Ireland?

Have tried Eirgrids website and European energy sites and SEAI but no luck finding the specifics.

Would be great if someone could give some helpful direction on it.

Was in the same position, Had to base my research on UK/European costing. Did a lot of searching, was able to find cost info for UK and Europe but for some reason could found almost nothing published for Ireland.
Will search around some backup drives and send on links.
