The U.S. electric grid is at an unprecedented inflection point. After two decades of zero growth, rapid demand from new industries and data centers is stressing the grid, even while new supply resources have been slow to respond. The power grid is aging, with billions of dollars of infrastructure nearing end of life, even as new equipment has become more expensive and difficult to source. As a result, even while society is increasing its reliance on the power grid, it has never looked more fragile. This online course – spread over two days - will examine the underlying drivers on both sides of the equation that are causing unprecedented stresses on the U.S. power grid. We will discuss the short-and long-term responses that are necessary, and the evolving commercial and regulatory strategies to address these issues and keep us from future grid failure.
