Resilient Grids: Strengthening Power Systems in an Age of Disruption
As power systems face growing pressure from extreme weather, cyber threats, geopolitical uncertainty, and rapid technological change, resilience has become mission‑critical to delivering secure, affordable, and reliable electricity.
Energy system operators are no longer focused solely on efficiency and decarbonisation. They must now be able to anticipate, withstand, adapt to, and recover from disruption - while continuing to enable the energy transition. Against this backdrop of tightening regulation, accelerating digitalisation, and increasing climate risks, organisations need a truly holistic approach to resilience.
In this webinar, leading experts from finance, transmission system operations, utilities, and resilience advisory will explore how grid resilience can be embedded across strategy, operations, infrastructure, and governance, and how it can unlock long‑term value for networks, customers, and communities.
Discussion points:
- Explore how physical and dynamic risks are assessed across the energy system
- Learn how digital tools are strengthening system-wide resilience through improved visibility and real-time optimisation.
- Understand how operators balance immediate operational pressures with long-term resilience investment.
- Examine how resilience is assessed and financed in practice, and what signals lenders look for.
