Research output: NREL › Presentation

Abstract

President Obama announced in 2012 an Administration Goal for the United States to double aggregate renewable electricity generation from wind, solar, and geothermal sources by 2020. This analysis, using the Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) model, explores a full range of future renewable deployment scenarios out to 2020 to assess progress and outlook toward this goal. Under all modeledconditions, consisting of 21 scenarios, the Administration Goal is met before 2020, and as early as 2015.
