Renewable Electricity Procurement Options Data

Description

The Procurement Analysis Tool (PAT) was developed at NREL to help organizations explore renewable energy options that align with their goals. Users input facility data and answer goal-oriented questions. PAT analyzes this information to identify potential wind, solar, or storage resources and suitable procurement options (PPA, Green Tariffs) that align with their budget, location, and sustainability goals. For more information see the "Procurement Analysis Tool" resource below. The Renewable Electricity Procurement Options Data (RE-POD) was an aggregated dataset meant to help local jurisdictions and utility customers within those jurisdictions understand the options that may be available to them to procure renewable electricity or renewable energy credits to meet energy goals. RE-POD has been discontinued and replaced with the PAT. This data is part of a suite of state and local energy profile data available at the "State and Local Energy Profile Data Suite" link below and builds on Cities-LEAP energy modeling, available at the "EERE Cities-LEAP Page" link below. Examples of how to use the data to inform energy planning can be found at the "Example Uses" link below.
