Model Intercomparison Project PowerGenome Data Files

These data files are used by the PowerGenome software pipeline to create model inputs for the Model Intercomparison Project. They include:

• Data on existing US generation resources from EIA-860 and EIA-923 as compiled in a version of PUDL.
• Information from EPA's Integrated Planning Model on transmission capacity between IPM regions and the assignment of generation resources to each region.
• Distributed generation results from NREL's dGen model, as published in Cambium 2022.
• Candidate project areas for new wind and solar developement developed by Princeton University.
• Hourly generation profiles for the candidate project areas and existing wind/solar/hydro resources.
• Hourly demand based on NREL's Electrification Study, with stocks of electrified end-use technology from Princeton's REPEAT study.
