2026 Event Schedule

Wildfires are one of the top risks faced by electric utilities today.  Fire season is year round.  California and the West have experienced a dramatic increase in the number and intensity of wildfires. And now, utilities across North America realize that they must have a fire mitigation plan. Regulators, investors, the insurance industry, ISO’s and customers expect a wildfire mitigation plan as a best practice. They all demand a safer and more resilient T&D system.  

Explore these new fire mitigation plans with utilities and the Westen Energy Market that are leading the industry in the identification and location of wildfires. Learn about new fire mitigation regulatory requirements and about recent state legislation to better prevent and prepare for wildfires.

Discuss the strategies and applications of sensor systems, satellites, cameras, covered conductors, strategic undergrounding and Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Learn how artificial intelligence (AI) is adding value to massive amounts of raw data coming from transmission (and distribution) rights of way at the grid edge.

Discover the costs and benefits of planning, permitting and executing these immediate and long term initiatives from proactive utilities directly engaged in increasingly detailed wildfire mitigation programs. 

Decide how your utility  can proactively engage in fire mitigation planning and execution to satisfy the demands of your many stakeholders and reduce your liabilities.
