Building the Future of Distribution Engineering Systems

Join TRC at Cooperative Technologies Conference & Expo 2026 as utility engineers, planners and technical leaders come together to explore the changing role of distribution engineering and support a more dynamic and decentralized grid.

As electric load growth increases and distributed energy resources expand, distribution systems are facing new demands for capacity, reliability and adaptability. Meeting these new challenges requires advanced engineering strategies, modern design practices and integrated planning approaches that align infrastructure investments with long term system needs.

At this year’s summit, TRC will highlight the methodologies, tools and engineering practices utilities are applying to modernize distribution networks and deliver resilient systems.

Meet with TRC to explore key priorities shaping distribution engineering

Advanced distribution systems: Implementing modern engineering approaches for capacity planning, system growth, and feeder design.

DER interconnectivity and hosting capacity: Helping utilities evaluate their system impacts, modernize interconnection processes and maximize hosting capacity across distribution networks.

Resiliency engineering: Strengthening systems performance through infrastructure improvements and proactive risk mitigation strategies.

Data Driven Planning and Engineering: Utilizing GIS, modeling tools and system data to improve forecasting, planning and decision making.
