Today’s extreme weather events continue to underscore the criticality of planning a future power system that can withstand and be resilient to present and future climate conditions. Climate READi© was launched in 2022 to develop a consistent, comprehensive framework for assessing physical climate risk to the power system – and that Framework was published in the Spring of 2025. Informed by over 40 power companies and 100 global stakeholders, the Framework provides the methodological foundation for power companies to analyze risk and prioritize investments that can enhance the climate readiness of their assets and systems for decades to come.

This workshop will introduce participants to the Climate READi framework: what it contains, how to apply it, and how to customize it to address the questions that your organization is asking. 

Topics include: 

• Physical climate data and guidance, focusing on sourcing the right data and approaches to ensure fit-for-purpose climate data integration within power system assessments and modeling exercises
• Asset vulnerability and adaptation, focusing on climate-related vulnerabilities and potential adaptation options across a broad set of asset classes
• System modeling, focusing on how and where power system planning and simulation processes need to change to consistently consider climate risks in an integrated modeling environment
• Investment prioritization, focusing on the technically rigorous evaluation and comparison of adaptation strategies to justify resilience investments

Throughout, participants will be introduced to guidance materials, technical references, and tools that support various aspects of framework implementation. This will be a learning session with the goal that all attendees come away with the knowledge of what it takes to bring physical climate risk considerations into power system planning and decision making.

This utility-only roundtable is a closed-door, high-level networking event that has been designed to foster collaboration among utility executives, engineers and business leaders across the Northeast. Participants will be able to address and discuss the region’s unique energy challenges in a candid, confidential setting.

Topics will focus on a number of critical issues, including grid modernization efforts to integrate renewables, what it means to approach investment required for electrification, and how utilities are building resilience to withstand extreme weather events. Discussions will also explore what it means to keep energy affordable for all customers while navigating complex policy and regulatory hurdles.

Join this discussion to help build consensus and shared understanding among key players in the Northeast that will help shape and define a more resilient energy future across the entire region.

This discussion is exclusively for utilities. Participation is not permitted for non-utility attendees.
