What the source says
Over the period 2017-22 global average generation costs are estimated to further decline by a quarter for utility-scale solar PV; by almost 15% for onshore wind; and by a third for offshore wind.
Checked: the figure 25% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
