2019 Annual Technology Baseline ATB Cost and Performance Data for Electricity Generation Technologies

Publicly accessible License

Starting in 2015 NREL has presented the Annual Technology Baseline ATB in an Excel workbook that contains detailed cost and performance data both current and projected for renewable and conventional technologies. The workbook includes a spreadsheet for each technology. This updated version of the workbook provides data for the 2019 ATB. This year NREL is also providing a packaged Tableau workbook and structured summary csv files. A website documents this data at https://atb.nlr.gov.
