County Energy Profiles
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) city and county energy profiles is a set of modeled estimates of electricity and natural gas consumption and expenditures, on-road vehicle fuel consumption, vehicle miles traveled, and associated emissions for residential, commercial, and industrial uses in US counties.
Solar and wind energy potential aggregated from the NREL 2021 limited access solar supply curves and wind supply curves.
County boundaries are the 2023 TIGER 1:500,000 cartographic boundary file.
