Published by National Renewable Energy Laboratory | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-12-18T17:36:27Z
Starting in 2015 NREL has presented the Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) in an Excel workbook that contains detailed cost and performance data, both current and projected, for renewable and conventional technologies. The workbook includes a spreadsheet for each technology. This updated version of the workbook provides data for the 2020 ATB. In 2019 and 2020, NREL has also provided selected data in Tableau workbooks and structured summary csv files. A website documents this data at https://atb.nrel.gov.
