| Contents Notes |
This report, prepared by NREL's Energy Analysis Office, includes up-to-date information on power technologies, including complete technology profiles. The data book also contains charts on electricity restructuring, power technology forecasts, electricity supply, electricity capability, electricity generation, electricity demand, prices, economic indicators, environmental indicators, and conversion factors. New for this fourth edition of the PTEDB is Chapter 13, which features Geographic Information System (GIS) maps. One set of maps shows the natural resource (biomass, geothermal, solar, and wind) overlaid with the national transmission grid and the major electricity load centers. The other set of maps shows the current installed capacity (biomass, geothermal, concentrating solar power, and wind), as well as a bar chart indicating the historic trend of generating capacity for the state. |
