Utilities face mounting pressure to modernize the grid, meet aggressive decarbonization targets, and respond to rising DER adoption and climate-driven disruptions. But fragmented, siloed planning approaches can’t support the scale and speed required.Â
In this new Verdantix white paper, sponsored by IFS Copperleaf, industry analysts reveal how Integrated Planning (IP) is helping utilities align strategy, capital, and execution across the entire grid, unlocking greater reliability, resilience, and financial performance.Â
Holistic, value-based decisions: Balance cost, risk, reliability, ESG, and regulatory objectives using a unified framework.
Stronger regulatory confidence: Data-driven, auditable plans accelerate rate-case approvals and strengthen stakeholder trust.
Greater agility: Scenario analysis and continuous re-optimization help utilities adapt to shifting market, policy, and climate conditions.
Improved resilience: Climate and geospatial data reveal vulnerabilities and guide targeted resilience investments.Â
