What the source says
In 2025, Solar PV remained at its 2024 level of USD 44/MWh, while wind continued to improve, with onshore wind falling to USD 33/MWh and offshore wind to USD 78/MWh.
Checked: the figure 33 USD/MWhis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
