Overview This dataset includes GCAM-USA v 5.3 outputs for the percent change in electricity demand in the U.S. from 2020 to 2050 and from 2020 to 2100 for the thermodynamic global warming scenario "RCP8.5_hotter" and the SSP5 socioeconomic scenario. These results were produced as part of the Integrated Multisector, Multiscale Modeling (IM3) project. Detailed Information The electricity demand is calculated based on the IM3 GCAM-USA simulations. For the purpose of reproducibility, we provide the following data: 1. Raw data: the annual electricity demand for CONUS simulated by IM3 GCAM-USA for the scenario RCP8.5 Hotter - SSP5. 2. R scripts: process raw data, calculate percent change of electricity demand from 2020 to 2050 and from 2020 to 2100, and plot the data over CONUS. 3. Results: figures provided for NCA-5 and the corresponding data table from the R scripts.
