Accelerating Grid Modernization and Resiliency in an Age of Disruptions

Recent years have been especially challenging for the industry responsible for our electric grid. Destructive storms, weather events and climate effects continue to devastate many communities. The scale, pace and impact of change has driven federal and state governments to introduce once-in-a-generation investments in a reliable and affordable power supply for safety, equity and progress. GridFWD 2023 will bring leaders together who are navigating all of these disruptions to “business as usual” to take advantage of new opportunities to modernize the grid.
