2019 Annual Technology Baseline ATB Cost and Performance Data for Electricity Generation Technologies
Similar to the 2020 dataset, this resource offers cost and performance metrics for electricity generation technologies as documented in NREL's 2019 Annual Technology Baseline. It includes capital costs, operating costs, capacity factors, and technology lifetimes across categories such as solar, wind, conventional thermal, nuclear, and storage. Researchers and modelers use the data to evaluate technology competitiveness, conduct retrospective analyses, and calibrate models. Since technology costs evolve, the 2019 dataset is primarily relevant for analyses anchored to that year's assumptions.
