In the Demand-Side Analysis section, subsection titled Compliance (RPS) Markets, Table 16 (Page 22) was modified to correct a miscalculation of compliance market demand in Montana. In addition to Table 16, Figure 3 (Page 23) is amended to reflect the revisions. |

In the Supply and Demand Balance section, calculation errors impacted estimates of shortages and surpluses in the West, California, and the Midwest between 2010 and 2015. In the revised version of the report, Figure 4 (Page 24) - also Figure ES-1 (Page 2) - Table 17 (Page 28), and Table 18 (Page 29) are modified. The conclusions in the text of this section were unaffected. |
|
In Appendix B, the supply/demand graphs for the Midwest (Figure B1, Page 39), California (Figure B8, Page 42), and the West (Figure B9, Page 43) are also revised. |

| Summary |
This report examines the balance between the demand and supply of new renewable electricity in the United States on a regional basis through 2015. It expands on a 2007 NREL study (NREL/TP-670-42266) that assessed the supply and demand balance on a national basis. As with the earlier study, this analysis relies on estimates of renewable energy supplies compared to demand for renewable energy generation needed to meet existing state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) policies in 28 states, as well as demand by consumers who voluntarily purchase renewable energy. However, it does not address demand by utilities that may procure cost-effective renewables through an integrated resource planning process or otherwise. |
