Join us for an in-depth discussion on Oncor's System Resiliency Plan (SRP) and its vital role in enhancing grid resilience.

Filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas on May 6, 2024, this $3 billion initiative aims to enhance Oncor’s transmission and distribution systems over three years, with a significant focus on digital grid resiliency. Panelists will explore the digital grid landscape, key cyber resiliency strategies, and governance programs designed to protect against cyber threats. 

Key Takeaways:

• Cyber resiliency strategy and governance: Learn about the foundational framework for digital grid cyber resiliency related to transmission and distribution systems and functions
• Digital grid management: Understand the detection, response, and recovery activities crucial for cybersecurity and communications resiliency events that can adversely impact transmission and distribution operations. This includes enhancing the Security Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC) capabilities and focusing on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) for improved situational awareness.
• Communications: Oncor is investing in a private broadband network, communications backhaul enhancements, and station local area network (LAN) communications to ensure a robust transmission and distribution system.
• Data center resiliency: Explore how Oncor is enhancing its data center facilities and infrastructure to prevent cyber incidents that could disrupt electric delivery services for transition and distribution systems and functions
• Technology-enabling measures: See how technology supports additional SRP measures such as distribution automation, physical security, vegetation management, and wildfire mitigation. Learn about how these activities will enable additional areas of Oncor’s SRP to accomplish key objectives related to grid resiliency.

Oncor leaders will share their expertise, experiences, and lessons learned from developing the SRP, navigating the regulatory review process, and progressing through the plan’s three-year journey. This session will be most impactful for utility industry professionals seeking to understand and implement advanced resiliency solutions and strategies.
