RE Atlas–US Renewable Energy Interactive Map

The Renewable Energy Atlas is an interactive mapping tool to allow users to explore base level renewable energy resource datasets. The intention is to provide a broad overview of available data and provide appropriate links to allow users to explore the data in greater detail.

  • The map displays nine different energy categories – Hydro (FSPS), Geothermal (PHS), Biomass Residue, Geothermal (EGS,) Wind Speed (Offshore), Wind Power Class (Onshore), Wave Power Density, and our favorites, Concentrated Solar Power and Solar Photovoltaic, on a menu called “layers.”
  • Layers can be switched on and off to compare different energy options in a particular area and they can be further divided by reference data categories like “State,” “Congressional Districts,” and “EPA Contaminated Land.”
  • Under a menu called “Legends,” users can view scale ratings for each energy category.  While the scope and versatility of the visual information is impressive, the site also catalogs data sources and links on a separate tab.
