Exploring trade-offs between landscape impact, land use and resource quality for onshore variable renewable energy: an application to Great Britain

This dataset provides existing generation and technical generation potential of variable renewable energies for 371 local authority districts in Great Britain. The renewables include rooftop photovoltaic, ground-mounted photovoltaic, and onshore wind turbines. The data also include levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), which economically assesses the technical potential. The onshore wind potentials are included in relation to sccenicness, i.e. visual landscape impact. Furthermore, the data reflect different scenarios for land use competition of onshore wind and ground-mounted PV. The compilation of the existing potentials, as well as the methods to determine the technical potentials can be found in the following study: XXX.
