Planning for Resilience

Friday, October 16, 2020

2:05 PM – 2:50 PM EDT

Hurricanes and flooding pose a major threat to utilities and our aging energy infrastructure, with storm surges often leading to power station shutdowns. How can we plan, design, and invest in a more resilient and reliable grid that benefits every customer? Drawing upon an innovative dialogue happening in New Orleans around a Resilient RPS and a recent Climate Change Vulnerability Study by ConEdison, this session will explore opportunities and barriers around planning a distribution system of the future.
