Benfits and Values
The User Guide consists of more than a dozen articles with multiple cross-links. Each is intended to be useful on its own, but with only the level of detail needed to cover its own particular topic. It is intended to provide comprehensive guidance for electric power companies on selecting and applying climate data in a diversity of power system applications, to provide a scientifically informed and technically grounded resource for stakeholders interested in understanding suitable uses of climate data in power sector applications, and to address persistent questions from the electric power sector on the use of climate data in system planning.
