Join us for a panel representing three organizations that focus on vegetation management: AEP SWEPCO, Iapetus Infrastructure Services, and Fulcrum.
We'll focus on three major areas that lead to grid modernization and resilience:
Knowing where vegetation risk actually lives. Lidar, grid characteristics, outage history, and fuel conditions can rank a system span by span — far more precisely than a four-year cycle ever could.
Acting on risk intelligence for better outcomes. Risk-based vegetation management is the better program, but it also carries a heavier burden of proof than cycle-based programs do. Field teams and office teams need to work together to show a regulator, insurer, or board what they knew -- and what they should have known.
Helping the organization change to meet the model. Cycle-based programs are straightforward: Set the schedule, hit it. Adapting to a risk-based program requires substantive changes in people, processes, and technologies that should be thought out before you begin.
This webinar will feature insights from:
Brian Sprinkle, Director of UVM Consulting and Innovation, Iapetus Infrastructure Services
Drew Seidel, Vice President, AEP SWEPCO
Jake Freivald, Vice President of Product Marketing, Fulcrum
Alex Macksoud, Moderator, Energy Central
Join us for an in-depth discussion of how utilities and contractors manage the resources and technologies needed to create a credible, defensible, and effective vegetation management program that can improve your risk profile, your standing with regulators, and your customers' satisfaction.
