March 2, 2018

The keynote presentation will provides insights into defining a utility business model for growth

As customers adopt new, innovative technologies, the utility industry will continue to undergo dramatic changes. New models emerging around the world demonstrate the economic and social value of transforming the energy system, enabled by customer-focused technologies and closer integration of distributed energy and alternatives such as storage. An emerging new model can help achieve these goals and provide greater growth and value to the industry. In the opening session presentation at the 2018 IEEE PES T&D Conference & Expo on Tuesday, April 17, Gregory Bolino will share insights on the issues and challenges of this transition, which requires both a new regulatory framework and new thinking on how to best approach the grid and investment.
