This layer contains polygons representing solar resource for the entire state of California. Grid squares representing irradiance came from NREL’s solar power prospector http://maps.nrel.gov/prospector. Estimated energy production of a typical solar PV plant was calculated for each 10 km grid square. See RPS calculator documentation on CPUC website for more detailed description of energy production estimate methodology http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/energy/Renewables/hot/RPS+Calculator+Home.htm.
This layer was created by intersecting the SUPERCREZs with county polygons and removing the following: • EDTF code 4 • RETI Category 1 • Feinstein California Desert Protection Act of 2010/2011 • other factors such as slope
'MW' & 'CF' fields were updated on 04/07/15 to ensure consistency with the “supply curve” in the RPS Calculator Version 6.0
Layers in this dataset are based on combinations of the following options.
