Authors' Reply to the Letter to the Editor: Response to ‘A comparative analysis of electricity generation costs from renewable, fossil fuel and nuclear sources in G20 countries for the period 2015-2030’

Abstract Jani-Petri Martikainen has raised a few concerns after examining in detail the peer-reviewed published article Ram et al. (2018) and the technical report Ram et al. (2017) in his letter Martikainen (2019) . However, Martikainen (2019) fails to contextualise the approach in estimating the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) across different power generation sources adopted in Ram et al. (2017) and Ram et al. (2018) . Martikainen (2019) seems to raise issues that have already been clarified and further explained in the original published article as well as in the technical report. In an effort to ensure that the readers are not confused or misled by some of the claims made in Martikainen (2019) , the authors of Ram et al. (2017) and Ram et al. (2018) have responded to all the concerns raised.
