Alternative Fuels and Electric Vehicle Charging Station locations are gathered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and verified annually.

Electricity usage for facilities utilized by state agencies dating back to fiscal year 2015 provided by the Colorado Energy Office (CEO).

Average daily total solar global horizontal irradiance average from 1998 to 2014 from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Geothermal potential from the National Renewable Energy (NREL) Laboratory in 2009 clipped to the state of Colorado.

Revenue and pricing for electricity consumption by month in each state, since 1990 from the US Energy Information Administration (USEIA).

Biopower potential estimated based on available residue data produced in the report Geographic Perspective on the Current Biomass Resource Availability in the United States (NREL, 2004), assuming conversion efficiencies between 30 and 35% depending on the residue type.

The Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) contains information on the release and waste management for over 800 toxic chemicals and toxic chemical categories as reported annually by facilities in certain industries as well as federal facilities.

Data collected to measure success of implementing Smart Grid, and other quick facts about Colorado’s national ranking for energy use, production and efficiencies. Compiled in 2014 from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Monthly average and annual average daily total solar resource (DNI) averaged over surface cells of 0.1 degrees in both latitude and longitude, or about 10 km in size. The insolation values represent the resource available to concentrating systems that track the sun throughout the day. The data are created using the SUNY Satellite Solar Radiation model (Perez, et.al., 2002). The data are averaged from hourly model output over 8 years (1998-2009).

This data set contains a list of U.S. Existing Non-powered Dams (NPD) with hydropower potential greater than 1MW. This data set consists of geo-referenced digital data and associated attributes created in Hadjerioua B. Y. Wei S.-C. Kao and B. T. Smith (2012) An Assessment of Energy Potential at Non-powered Dams in the United States Technical Manual 2011/251 Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge TN..
