About This Course
As utilities advance in their clean energy efforts, the push for reliable and robust field asset connectivity is becoming a linchpin for modernizing the grid and unlocking the potential of future energy initiatives. These connectivity projects are essential for integrating renewable energy, automating power systems, and enhancing the reliability and resilience of the power grid. But as vital as they are, they come with significant challenges.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on the findings from a recent survey from Utility Dive and Sitetracker with 150 utility executives across the U.S. and Canada, which highlights the growing importance of field connectivity infrastructure.
