This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $750,000 in funding to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to investigate the impacts of economic incentives, planning paradigms, and conservation concerns on electricity infrastructure investments.

The project aims to improve the effectiveness and social impact of clean energy investments in the power sector by examining three key contexts: the permitting, siting, and deployment of renewable energy resources; the identification of social and human-centered barriers to expanding transmission capacity; and the affordability and reliability implications of strategies for reducing wildfire risk on the electric grid. The researchers will use a convergent research approach that integrates economics and engineering methodologies to develop new metrics and frameworks for evaluating these infrastructure investments. The findings will be used to propose changes in regulatory frameworks to support more efficient climate transition decisions, in collaboration with stakeholders. The award period runs from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
