Open-Access Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) Model

closed

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has developed the Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS), a state-of-the-art model of the U.S. electricity sector that allows policymakers and researchers to forecast energy-generation investment decisions decades into the future. This model is a key tool for understanding how the electricity sector might evolve under a variety of circumstances, including those in which solar technologies achieve research and development cost targets and are more prevalent on the grid. This project will make the ReEDS model publicly available and enable other entities to use it to analyze the impact of new technologies.
