Playbooks

Practical guides and advice from utility operations experts on optimizing resources, mitigating risk, and improving grid reliability and resilience.

Utilities have invested billions in system hardening and vegetation management to keep pace with growing wildfire risk and regulatory demands. Even with that progress, few utilities have the data many defensibly direct funding toward the greatest areas of risk.

We asked practitioners tackling wildfire at PG&E, Holy Cross Energy, and PacifiCorp about how they're closing that gap. 

This playbook offers insights on how utilities are:

  • Anchoring on prevention at the point of ignition

  • Aligning vegetation and asset teams with a shared view of risk

  • Replacing landscape-scale fuel maps with a living view of right-of-way
