Meet EPE at DISTRIBUTECH

Booth #1015

Grid complexity is increasing as DERs, large loads, and evolving demand patterns reshape operations. To maintain reliability and resilience, utilities must shift from reactive responses to proactive planning.

You don’t want to miss this panel with industry experts exploring how advanced planning tools, real-time data, and predictive analytics can bridge the gap between long-term strategy and daily grid operations. Learn how leading experts are driving integrated, forward-looking solutions to optimize grid performance. 

As electrification grows and renewable integration expands, DERs offer a cost-effective solution. To maximize their potential, utilities must operationalize flexibility and improve coordination. This session will cover how to leverage DERs for grid reliability, optimize demand response, and apply UK insights where 5GW of flexibility has been contracted.

As extreme weather, electric vehicle adoption, and growing demand strain the electric grid, traditional reinforcement strategies are no longer enough. DERs and grid-edge technologies offer flexible, cost-effective solutions. With significant funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, this session explores how these innovations can enhance grid resilience and reliability.
