The Future of Utility Infrastructure

The aging infrastructure of the U.S. power grid is facing a critical juncture in its long-term operability. The majority of the grid infrastructure was constructed in the 1950’s and 60’s with an initial life expectancy of 50 years. As the global demand for energy grows along with increased renewable portfolio goals and a technology disconnect between old infrastructure and new innovations, the utility industry must prepare itself to better meet the needs of the future. This white paper covers the problems facing current utility infrastructure and how utility owners can prepare their facilities for long-term success.
