Solar power purchase agreement prices rose 5% in Q3, primarily because of new trade tariffs; wind agreements remained relatively steady.

Utility Dive, citing LevelTen, reports that solar power purchase agreement prices increased 5% in the third quarter. The article attributes the increase mainly to new trade tariffs.

Wind power purchase agreement prices, by contrast, remained relatively steady during the same quarter. The supplied excerpt does not provide a numerical wind-price change or a comparable absolute price for either technology.

The reported measure concerns power purchase agreements, not retail electricity bills, wholesale spot-market prices, or data-center construction costs. The excerpt does not disclose contract durations, regional price breakdowns, or dollar-per-megawatt-hour levels, preventing a more granular procurement comparison.
