What the source says
In contrast, most dispatchable renewable technologies recorded higher costs, with hydropower, geothermal and concentrating solar power rising to USD 62/MWh, USD 89/MWh and USD 115/MWh, respectively.
Checked: the figure 115 USD/MWhis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
