core_nrelatb__yearly_projected_financial_cases_by_scenario
Return to SearchAnnual time series of additional financial assumptions for NREL ATB projections that also vary by technology innovation scenario (scenario_atb), tax credit case (model_tax_credit_case_nrelatb), and cost recovery period (cost_recovery_period_years).
- Most-recent data:
2024
- Processing:
Data has been cleaned and organized into well-modeled tables that serve as building blocks for downstream wide tables and analyses.
- Source:
NREL Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) for Electricity
- Primary key:
This table has no primary key. There are a small number of records which have nulls in the cost_recovery_period_years column. Based on NREL's documentation, this seems to indicate that those records apply to any relevant cost_recovery_period_years. If those records were non-null, the primary keys of this table would be: ['report_year', 'model_case_nrelatb', 'model_tax_credit_case_nrelatb', 'projection_year', 'technology_description', 'scenario_atb', 'cost_recovery_period_years']
Columns
Four-digit year in which the data was reported.
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
NREL's tax credit assumption cases. There are two types of tax credits: production tax credit (PTC) and investment tax credit (ITC). For more detail, see: https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2024/financial_cases_&_methods
