Building a More Modern & Resilient Grid Roundtable

​Join the Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) & Edison Electric Institute at the USA Climate Pavilion in the Blue Zone at COP31 for an executive roundtable on what it will take to build a more modern and resilient power grid.

​Lisa Jacobson, President of BCSE, will moderate a candid conversation with industry and public sector leaders about how the grid can better withstand, and recover from extreme weather and wildfire events.

​The discussion will move through four big questions:

• ​Current status and level-set - What are recent extreme weather and wildfire events teaching us about how we need to plan for and operate a more resilient grid?

• ​Optimizing new approaches - Where are new technologies and approaches improving grid resilience? How are these improvements evolving and how must we prepare for, respond to, and recover from extreme-weather and wildfire events?

• ​Global lessons - What resilience approaches from other regions, countries, or industries deserve greater attention—and what would it take to adapt them successfully?

• ​Looking Ahead - What is one resilience issue, capability, or opportunity that deserves significantly more attention over the next several years?

​If you work on energy infrastructure, policy, finance, or technology, or you simply want to hear how senior leaders are thinking about grid reliability in a changing climate, this is a great chance to listen, learn, and take part in the conversation.
