DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe United States faces the need to build generatio
 n\, storage\, and transmission infrastructure while meeting a growing elec
 tricity demand. I will present results from several ongoing analyses that 
 quantify the costs\, benefits\, and technology investments needed across t
 he country for a variety of policy and technology scenarios. We use a new 
 modeling tool\, PyPSA-USA\, that includes characteristics of generators\, 
 transmission\, candidate new generation and transmission technologies\, a 
 representation of renewable generation potential\, and state- and federal-
 level policies and incentives.\n\nBio\n\nInês M.L. Azevedo is Professor i
 n the Department of Energy Science & Engineering at Stanford University\, 
 and she serves as Senior Fellow for both the Woods Institute for the Envir
 onment and the Precourt Institute for Energy. She also holds a courtesy ap
 pointment in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, all a
 t Stanford University. She is also an Invited Professor with the Nova Busi
 ness School (Portugal). Prof. Azevedo’s research interests focus on sust
 ainable energy using a systems approach that combines engineering and tech
 nology analysis with economic and decision science. She has published 130+
  peer-reviewed journal articles and has served as an author on several rep
 orts of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. She was one of the Lead Aut
 hors for the IPCC AR6 report on Climate Mitigation\, as well as Lead Autho
 r for the 2024 U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA). Prof. Azevedo has r
 eceived the World Economic Forum’s “Young Scientists under 40” award
  in 2014\, and the C3E Women in Clean Energy Research Award in 2017.
