Stanford Energy Seminar | Improving Decisions for U.S. Electricity under Policy Uncertainty | Inês Azevedo, Stanford University
Hybrid · Stanford (San Francisco Bay Area), CA
Economics
Engineering
Policy
Batteries & Energy Storage · Nuclear · Power & Utilities

The United States needs generation, storage, and transmission infrastructure to meet growing electricity demand. Inês Azevedo presents analyses quantifying costs, benefits, and technology investments across policy and technology scenarios, including transmission expansion, increased load from data centers, enhanced geothermal, small modular nuclear reactors, storage technologies, offshore wind, and the effects of different climate futures on investment decisions. The presentation uses PyPSA-USA, a modeling and data tool representing generators, transmission, candidate generation and transmission technologies, renewable-generation potential, and state- and federal-level policies and incentives.
