Electric utilities are tapping into an ever-expanding range of technologies to navigate the grid's challenges and fortify its resilience. At the 2023 Grid Forward conference in Stevenson, WA, Grid Forward spearheaded discussions on cutting-edge grid solutions through its distinctive Tech Jam sessions. These sessions united tech providers with utility customers, spotlighting practical applications driving accelerated grid modernization.
Following the event, our E&U experts worked with Grid Forward to publish an article that takes a closer look at some of the trends that came out of the sessions, including:
