Data Sources: Accounting for Standard Delivery Renewable Energy

Developed in 2020 to support the Accounting for Standard Delivery Renewable Energy report published under CRS’s Clean Energy Accounting Project (CEAP), this document explores a representative sample of data sources available for accounting for renewable energy across the U.S., including utility-specific data, Renewable Portfolio Compliance data, Residual Mix data, and grid average data. It examines the underlying calculation methods for each, and highlights variability within and across them.
