2026 Event Schedule

Weather remains a critical variable in utility operations. What once required supercomputers is now running on open-source AI models with the potential to deliver faster updates and higher resolution. These advances are accelerating the capabilities of internal weather teams while placing advanced forecasting tools within reach for operators just entering this space. This session explores practical strategies to capture value from this next generation of weather intelligence.

We will discuss how higher-resolution forecasts can refine load forecasting, support FERC 881 compliance and dynamic line ratings, and drive proactive strategies for outage prediction and extreme weather events. Rather than viewing these advancements as disruption, we will examine them as a natural evolution of grid modernization: moving from raw forecast data to actionable operational processes that improve efficiency, reliability, and positively impact utility customers. Join us to discuss how to translate these capabilities into tangible operational benefits.
