Aligning Resilience Efforts: Critical Infrastructure Providers and Agencies

This session will explore how utilities are considering reliability, resilience, and growth, and how those considerations intersect with the energy resilience needs of federal sites. Panelists and the audience will explore how partnerships can play a role in advancing the mutual energy resilience goals of federal sites and their serving utilities, whether that be through planning processes, project identification, or execution. This panel will also feature methods for building resilience into your energy strategy, including leveraging performance contracts, utility collaborations, resilience tariffs, and other measures.
