2026 Event Schedule

The Challenge
Wildfires, driven by climate change and land‑use pressures, are growing in scale and severity. Utilities must integrate wildfire‑mitigation strategies directly into smart‑grid software and field operations to better prepare, respond, and recover.

Prepare Smarter
Predict wildfire and storm impacts with up to 80% accuracy, 72 hours ahead, using live weather, vegetation, and asset data. Improve crew pre‑positioning, PSPS planning, and resource allocation.

Respond Faster
AI‑powered operator assistance and Active Line Drop Protection (ALDP) help detect downed conductors, reduce cognitive load, guide safe switching, and accelerate crew dispatch.

Recover Quickly
Automatic FLISR and intelligent reconfiguration can restore up to 98% of customers in under three minutes, even under extreme conditions, strengthening resilience and improving reliability.
