NREL's financial assumption cases. There are two cases which effect project financial assumptions: R&D Only Case and Market + Policies Case. R&D Only includes only projected R&D improvements while Market + Policy case includes policy and tax incentives. https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2024/financial_cases_&_methods

Combined federal and state tax rate. The R&D model_case_nrelatb holds tax and inflation rates constant at assumed long-term values: 21 percent federal tax rate, 6 percent state tax rate (though actual state tax rates vary), and 2.5 percent inflation rate excludes effects of tax credits. The Market + Policy model_case_nrelatb applies federal tax credits and expires them as consistent with existing law and guidelines.
