Reliability and resiliency challenges confront every utility—whether from extreme weather, equipment failures, cyber threats, or shifting load dynamics. In this session, utility leaders share firsthand accounts of high-impact events that tested their systems and teams. Hear how they are rethinking traditional emergency playbooks by leveraging digital tools, integrated data, and more agile operational models. Panelists will offer concrete insights into how technologies like AMI, grid edge intelligence, GIS-integrated outage management systems (OMS), and more are enhancing situational awareness, accelerating restoration, and strengthening public trust. This session showcases how utilities are redefining resiliency—not as a reactive response, but as a proactive, data-driven discipline that ensures a smarter, more adaptable grid for the future.
