It’s time to modernize the grid — faster, smarter, and more affordably
Today’s grid is facing an extreme amount of demand between the rise of AI data centers, electrification, and DERs. As a result, prices have been increasing since 2021, and capacity is strained.
With utilities expected to scale faster, grid modernization isn’t optional. It’s an imperative.
That’s where the AEIC Center for Operational Excellence’s Grid Advancement Collaborative Program comes in. This 12-month, cohort-based innovation journey is built by utilities, for utilities—designed to tackle the top 10 operational challenges identified in AEIC’s Grid Modernization Report.
