  • United States Renewable Energy Technical Potential

    Metadata Updated: August 26, 2015

    Renewable energy technical potential as defined in this report represents the achievable energy generation of a particular technology given system performance, topographic limitations, environmental, and land-use constraints.

    The primary benefit of assessing technical potential is that it establishes an upper-boundary estimate of development potential. It is important to understand that there are multiple types of potential—resource, technical, economic, and market—each seen in Figure 1 (below), with key assumptions.
