    • United States Utility-Scale PV Supply Curves 2024

    Metadata Updated: April 2, 2025

    This data packet contains supply curves, hourly generation profiles, and a composite siting exclusion TIFF for utility-scale PV across the contiguous United States. The supply curves offer comprehensive metrics such as capacity (MW), generation (MWh), levelized cost of energy (LCOE), levelized cost of transmission (LCOT), and more for each reV site (~60,000 sites). Hourly generation profiles are available for each reV site and can be matched to the available capacity in the supply curve (refer to the Jupyter Notebook). The composite exclusion TIFF is a single file that delineates areas where PV installations are permissible based on various siting assumptions. This data packet contains information for the Reference and Limited siting scenarios. The PV system cost and parameters were obtained from the Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) 2023.
