The bars in the chart show the additional RE resulting from the tightening of each constraint and the cumulative RE for each combination of constraints. [...] The constraints are listed to the left in the table below the chart in ES Figure 1, and the level of each constraint is provided below each bar. [...] Limitations to the analysis territories should create The accuracy of the analysis in this report depends on the quality and vintage of the data that graded land banks for was available in the public domain. [...] The significance of each parameter indicates how it is being utilised in the analysis, and the data source identifies the source of the data. [...] In addition to the CapEx and OpEx of solar and wind plants, the LCOE also depends on the RE PLF and the land cost, which are factored into the analysis.
