Land of Opportunity: Geothermal, Land-based Wind, and Solar PV Potential on Federal Lands
This data packet contains supply curves and a composite siting exclusion TIFF for geothermal, land-based wind, and solar PV across the contiguous United States with specific consideration on federal lands. The supply curves offer comprehensive metrics such as capacity (MW) for each reV site (~60,000 sites). The composite exclusion TIFF is a single file that delineates areas where there are no assumed exclusions to a power plant based on various siting assumptions.
