This map was developed by SRA International for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) OSWER
Center for Program Analysis. Results are based on site screening criteria adapted from National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL) criteria and GIS data provided by NREL and EPA. This map and its associated
data are intended to provide a general understanding of the renewable energy potential of EPA tracked sites:
additional site specific analysis is required to determine the actual energy generation potential of EPA tracked
sites. For further information, please see the accompanying Data Guidelines document, or contact
