Rebecca (Becca) Fuchs works in the Grid Transmission Group in the Grid Planning and Analysis Center. She is particularly interested in climate policies and their impacts on grid transmission development.
Before coming to NREL, Fuchs was an Arctic climate scientist, with a focus on sea ice geophysics and has done extensive fieldwork in the high Arctic. Her background is in geophysical fluid dynamics and climate modelling, particularly pertaining to physical oceanography. She is an active ‘Science Alliance’ member of the nonprofit Protect Our Winters, where she works alongside elite athletes and other members of the Outdoor State to promote legislation that helps to fight climate change. She transitioned into her role at NREL from academia with the personal goal of having a more practical impact on the energy transition.
