This dataset contains the input parameters for Model for Electricity Technology Assessment (META) tool for US, Romania, Jamaica and India (base year 2010). Furthermore, the META projected costs for 2015 and 2020 are presented.
Contains information about each delivery technology for US, Romania, Jamaica and India. base year: 2010. This information is used as input in the Model for Electricity Technology Assessment (META) tool. META yields levelized costs for generation, transmission, and distribution for each electricity supply technology option from a relatively few input parameters. One of the features of META is that it allows for integration of environmental externalities, such as local pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Users can easily see the cost of adding or expanding generation from a particular power source if, for example, a carbon price is factored in.
