NASA POWER can generate EPW files for a location in the Power Data Access
Viewer.

I haven't used the data but I was not aware of this previously so I thought
I would share, see below.

Subject: NASA POWER Beta Testing: Feedback Request

Dear NASA POWER user,

The Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) Project is
transitioning to a new hosting environment and is requesting user feedback
on the Web Services Beta. The Beta, which will eventually become POWER Web
Services Portal Version 2, utilizes the new version of data including the
latest NASA satellite analysis sources for surface fluxes (solar and thermal
infrared). In addition, the following enhancements to data services have
been implemented:

1.  Single location, user specified time period, hourly data availability
(including the .epw output data format)

2.  Single location, user specified time series processing for various time
averages using the newest input data 

3.  Single location, user specified time period, long-term variability and
anomaly reports (including ASHRAER building climate zone indicators for
climate monitoring)

4.  Single location, user specified time period ASHRAER Climate Design
Condition report

5.  Single location, regional, and global user specified time period ASHRAER
building climate zones processing (visualization capability in the NASA AGOL
<https://nasa.maps.arcgis.com/home/group.html?id=4b75def515df430980faebca6a0
07465#overview> )

Users of the POWER Data Access Viewer (DAV) should experience no major
impacts on usability during this migration process. For users of the custom
POWER Application Programming Interface (API), there will be substantial
improvements in the responsiveness, usability, and standard compliance of
the API endpoints. This includes an updated path based Uniform Resource
Locator (URL) system, enhanced Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) query
keywords, a streamed response of the requested data format (no longer
requiring you to find the requested data format download link within the
JSON response). 

For more information on how to integrate the Version 2 of the POWER API
Services Catalog, please navigate to the POWER Services Catalog
Documentation <https://power.larc.nasa.gov/beta/docs/services/api/>  link on
the Beta site.

This migration is expected to be completed on 07/01/2021. Once migrated, the
POWER Services Catalog Version 1 will be deactivated and only Version 2 will
be supported going forward.

Beta Site (Version 2): https://power.larc.nasa.gov/beta/ 

Please explore, utilize, and provide feedback to the POWER Project Team
<mailto:larc-power-project at mail.nasa.gov> . We appreciate your input on any
bugs or data issues as well as improvements or additional tools needed. 

For any questions regarding this transition, please reach out to POWER
Project Team <mailto:larc-power-project at mail.nasa.gov> .

Sincerely, 

The POWER Project Team
