The reV Model

Summary

The United States is facing rapidly growing electricity demand, largely due to data centers, which creates significant challenges for siting and interconnecting new energy generation and transmission infrastructure. The National Laboratory of the Rockies developed the reV Model, an open-source geospatial platform, to analyze the opportunities and barriers for deploying energy assets across the country. This initiative is in progress, integrating various data sources and advanced modeling techniques to optimize site selection and reduce costs.
