To develop the Asset Score, DOE issued public Requests for Information (RFIs) and completed pilot testing with users. DOE also commissioned analyses from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to inform the technical design, scoring methodology, and other features of the tool.
