Featured Session: Resilient, Reliable and Affordable? Confronting the Power Sector’s Impossible Equation |1.30-2.00pm 23rd January, 2026

Can we truly have it all — resilience, affordability, and grid capacity to meet surging demand? As the grid strains under the weight of climate extremes, electrification, and aging infrastructure, regulators and utilities are facing a stark reality: the cost of resilience is rising, and so are expectations. How do we harden the grid, prepare for black swan events, and support decarbonization — without triggering rate shock or deepening energy inequity? How do we quantify resilience benefits and provide the highest value at the lowest cost possible?
