Discover how utilities are using data and digital tools to manage aging assets, reduce risk, and plan smarter infrastructure investments.

As utilities face mounting pressure to do more with aging infrastructure, effective asset management has become essential to grid performance, safety, and long-term planning. This topic explores how utilities are adopting data-driven strategies to assess asset health, prioritize investments, and extend the life of critical infrastructure. Topics include condition-based monitoring, risk modeling, digital twins, GIS integration, and lifecycle planning. Learn how utilities are evolving from reactive maintenance to strategic, value-based asset stewardship that supports reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance.
