NREL Seeks Participants for RE Potential Initiative

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is seeking partners for a Renewable Energy Potential Initiative, which will explore the long-term potential of renewable energy (RE) to meet a substantial share of U.S. energy needs. Estimates of the potential of renewable energy inform decisions regarding energy investments and energy policy. While some estimates exist, they are not detailed or comprehensive. Energy businesses, investors, and public policymakers are interested in using more renewable energy, but this would require more robust analysis of RE resource, technical, economic, and market potential. The initiative will be a multiyear, public-private collaborative analytic effort to advance the understanding of all aspects of RE potential through a systematic process.

Access the Renewable Energy Potential Initiative section of this Web site for more information and a timeline.
