Overview
GridLab provides technical expertise to enhance policy decision making and to ensure a rapid transition to a reliable, cost effective, and low-carbon future. GridLab focuses on the electricity sector, with the understanding that electrification allows for decarbonizing other sectors, such as transportation and buildings. With costs of clean technologies now competitive, grid reliability and integration concerns have emerged as the primary barriers to clean energy adoption. Using detailed weather, GIS, and wind power plant modeling, the study funded by this grant will articulate the potential, quality, and cost-effectiveness of the U.S. offshore wind resource.

for a 100% Clean International Conference
The purpose of this conference is to develop a coordinated international research roadmap to address the technical challenges associated with incorporating very large amounts of variable generation (wind and solar) into the energy supply mix, recognizing the accompanying electrification of the economy and its social science dimension.
