2024 Electricity ATB Technologies and Data Overview
The 2024 Electricity Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) compiles current and projected cost and performance characteristics for a wide range of electricity generation technologies, including solar, wind, fossil, nuclear, and storage systems. This overview summarizes key assumptions such as capital costs, capacity factors, operational lifetimes, and financing parameters used in NREL's 2024 ATB. The ATB provides high, mid, and low cost projections and is widely used by analysts and modelers to compare technologies, conduct scenario analyses, and inform policy and investment decisions. The 2024 edition incorporates updated learning rates, market data, and technology specific developments.
