Date recorded: September 16, 2021

Extreme weather conditions, aging assets, and increasing interconnections are testing the grid’s resilience. Ensuring safe, reliable, and sustainable electricity for utilities, industries, and society-at-large is becoming ever-challenging.

Modern societies rely heavily on a resilient grid that secures safe, reliable electricity round-the-clock — and this dependency will continue to grow in the years ahead. By 2050, we will share the planet with two and a half billion more people, consuming more than double the electricity we use today. Electricity will become the backbone of the entire energy system as we transition towards a carbon-neutral energy future.

What are the biggest challenges utilities, industries, and transportation companies face as infrastructure ages, demand rapidly expands, and renewables interconnections grow? Have severe hardships, such as the pandemic, extreme weather events, or ransomware attacks, offered any valuable learnings? How can an intelligent service strategy and partnerships help keep the grid flexible and resilient?
