About this Dataset

United States Offshore Wind Supply Curves 2024

This data packet contains supply curves, hourly generation profiles, and composite siting exclusion TIFFs for offshore wind (OSW) in the waters of the EEZ off the contiguous United States. The supply curves offer comprehensive metrics such as capacity (MW), generation (MWh), levelized cost of energy (LCOE), levelized cost of transmission (LCOT), and more for each reV site (4,200+ sites). Hourly generation profiles are available for each reV site and can be matched to the available capacity in the supply curve (refer to the Jupyter Notebook). The composite exclusion TIFF is a single file that delineates areas where OSW development is permissible based on various siting assumptions. This data packet contains information for the Open, Reference, and Limited siting scenarios.

The "Open" scenario only excludes areas with known preclusions for offshore wind deployment, such as known legal or administrative restrictions (e.g., Marine Protected Areas), existing infrastructure, and technical constraints (e.g., 1,300 m bathymetry limit). The "Reference" scenario excludes all areas from the "Open" scenario, as well as additional best management practices such as known proposed protected areas, and state waters. The "Limited" scenario excludes all area from the "Reference" scenario. Additionally, it has more stringent siting criteria such as larger setbacks from shore and infrastructure, as well as shallower depth limits on floating technology.
