National Renewable Energy Laboratory |
Solar |
|
Abstract:
Depicts estimated 2020 technical generation potential, by county, for commercial photovoltaic, concentrating solar, distributed wind, land-based wind, residential photovoltaic, and utility photovoltaic technologies. Technical generation potential is the upper bound of generation based on resource, system performance, topographic limitations, and environmental and land-use constraints, not market conditions. Estimates are modeled and have a high degree of uncertainty. See https://gds.nrel.gov/slope for more information.

Pumped Storage Pending Preliminary Permit |
Hydrography |
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission |
Storage |
|
Abstract:
Pending preliminary permits for pumped storage projects by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Preliminary permits are issued for up to three years, and do not authorize construction; rather, it maintains priority of application for a license (i.e., guaranteed first-to-file status) while the permittee studies the site and prepares to apply for a license. The permittee must submit periodic reports on the status of its studies. It is not necessary to obtain a permit in order to apply for or receive a license.

Abstract:
Depicts run-of-river (ROR) hydroelectric power plant sites in the U.S., attributed with descriptive information, and minimum and maximum power generation by month of year between 1970 and 2015. Symbolization shows the maximum monthly generation occurring between 1970 and 2015 in the month of May, which is the month with the highest overall generation.
