Electric utilities of all sizes have done well at meeting their initial goals of delivering safe, affordable, reliable power, but as we’ve seen repeatedly, in today’s world, that’s not enough.

Below are the five trends I believe will be at the top of the list in 2022 for North American grid owners and operators.

T&D World’s inaugural event opens in Charlotte this fall for a peer-led conference to help utilities navigate the energy transition.

While it covers more than just climate and energy, it’s touted as the federal government’s best effort yet to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and curb climate change.

Several speakers who represented fleet owners and vehicle manufacturers had a clear message for utilities when it comes to fleet electrification.

Many in the industry say the race to reach net zero emissions and the resulting push to electrify is unrealistic and is outpacing what the current grid can handle.

Extremes, Texas, physical security and nuclear fusion are all among the trends that VP of Energy at T&D World will be closely following in 2023.
