The goal of GNESTE is to develop a comprehensive database of cost and performance data for key electricity generation and storage technologies:
- Coal Power
- Gas Power
- Hydro Power
- Nuclear Power
- Solar Power
- Wind Power
- Battery Energy Storage Systems
Data are collected on:
- Capital Cost
- Fixed O&M Cost
- Variable O&M Cost
- Total O&M Cost
- Fuel Price
- Efficiency
- Construction Time
- Operating Lifetime
- Cost of Capital
The GNESTE database is documented in a paper published in the Data in Brief journal. That article details the process for collecting data, defines all variables and categories of data, and gives examples of its usage.
The files presented here are in machine-readable CSV format. The same data are also made available in Excel format, with additional metadata and documentation, from Zenodo.
