Grid Modernization , Peer to Peer Exchange

Utility construction is on the front lines of an energy revolution, driven by infrastructure needs for AI Data Centers, DER integration, System Hardening to support wildfire mitigation programs, and massive EV growth..

This guided peer-to-peer session is a candid discussion among utility and EPC leaders on challenges with the ‘business as usual approach’ and how to move beyond fragmented systems and processes for Planning, Constructing and Maintaining the grid.

Participants will be asked to share successful strategies and lessons learned for addressing critical challenges like field-initiated changes, connecting the evolving ecosystem of tools (from planners to analysts), and using a unified Digital Construction Management approach to ensure projects scale efficiently to meet Grid Modernization goals while maintaining a clean digital twin of the grid.
