Data Package 1: The main output datasets
File 1: Definition of the zones in this study
File 2: Statistics on land cover pixels updated from OSM
File 3: Validation of the eligibility masks with existing sites
File 4: Validation of the estimated CF profile for EU countries
File 5: Summary of the available area, technical potential and capacity potential in this study
File 6: Aggregation of the estimated 10-year hourly CF into 288 month-hour profile
File 7: The projection of electricity demand profile for each zone in 288 month-hour profile
File 8: The overall aggregated output covariance matrices for each country

Data Package 2: The estimated 10-years hourly capacity factor of all available technologies and capacity factor tranches in every zone in the world

Data Package 3: The solutions of optimal climate-related energy mix with different objectives in global electricity systems

Data Package 4: The modelling results of electricity sector decarbonization pathways by country/district
