2026 Event Schedule

The grid is evolving faster than many of our traditional planning approaches were designed to handle. Rapid renewable growth, new load from electrification and data centers, shifting policy signals, and rising reliability expectations are all creating long-term uncertainty that requires clearer insight and more flexible planning tools.

This session introduces PlanOS, GE Vernova’s advanced platform for long-term grid planning. We will look at how integrated scenario modeling and transparent system analytics can help us make sense of multiple possible futures, understand system interactions, and prioritize long-term investments with greater confidence.

We will explore how PlanOS helps planning teams:

• Evaluate many long-term futures in one environment and compare the tradeoffs
• Understand system performance across reliability, resource adequacy, congestion, and renewable buildouts
• Identify strategic investment needs with clear, data-driven tradeoff analysis
• Shift from static planning cycles to a more dynamic, iterative approach that reflects real-world uncertainty

The session focuses on what strengthens the grid planning practice. Participants will leave with a practical view of how integrated analysis can reduce risk, support faster decision making, and build a more coordinated and resilient long-term strategy. The discussion also highlights why PlanOS is a valuable tool for planners facing the complexity of the future grid.
