Solar and onshore and offshore wind power plant locations for six countries for estimating installed capacity densities

This data repository holds the geospatial input data for the paper: Covey, A., Pupa, R., Lai, M., Gole, A., Randazzo, N., Lee, B., Litvin, S., MacGregor, S., Lau, L., Stone, E., Xue, Y., Takekawa, E., Huy, M., Wu, G.C., Deshmukh, R. "Empirical estimates of installed capacity density for solar photovoltaic and onshore and offshore wind power plants," Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability journal. The repository includes shape files for the solar PV polygons and onshore and offshore wind turbine locations for power plants in six countries---Australia, China, Germany, India, United Kingdom, and the United States. The ArcGIS toolbox to process the installed capacity densities using these input shapefiles is available at https://github.com/cetlab-ucsb/installed-capacity-density-renewables.
