Critical Issue Forums

At the Center for Operational Excellence, we understand the evolving complexities that utility leaders face in managing expansive operational data and adapting to new technologies. Our Critical Issue Forums provide a platform where utility professionals can collaborate, exchange insights, and adopt best practices aimed at fostering a seamless transition to new energy sources.

Through strategic workshops, AEIC member projects, publications, and other resources that are interconnected with Integrated System Planning and Operations Data Strategy Framework, we strive to empower our industry to overcome operational challenges and harness opportunities. Our repository of resources emphasizes holistic approaches to data-driven decision-making, coordination, and impactful results that drive operational excellence.

  • Integrating cutting-edge solutions such as Inverter-Based Resources and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)

  • Mastering Integrated System forecasting and interconnection processes for resilient grid operations

  • Supporting data centers,  fleet electrification, and electric vehicle charging initiatives

  • Developing robust data and communication strategies to enhance grid performance

  • Advancing substation modernization and predictive maintenance for asset health

  • Optimizing work prioritization and performance processes for streamlined workflows

Join us as we dive deeper into these pivotal areas through workshops designed to address both present and future needs, helping to align strategies with comprehensive system planning and ensuring readiness for the energy landscape ahead.
