Utilities collectively are under increasing pressure to act to ensure their critical infrastructure is ready to meet future grid modernization, resilience, security, and clean energy requirements. Over the next 5-7 years, it’s projected that utilities will see six times growth in data usage, driven by an increase in network capacity, performance, and new applications.

Technology and the communications network advancements that support the grid play a critical role in helping utilities meet network challenges while mitigating risks, increasing customer satisfaction, and improving operational metrics. 

Leading utility and ecosystem technology leaders from Xcel, Evergy, and Anterix will share how they can address these challenges and collectively drive industry development by leveraging shared interests, network resources, talent, knowledge, and technology.
