TRC will provide actionable strategies that solve urgent challenges facing the utility industry<\/em><\/p>\n

WINDSOR, Conn .<\/strong> \u2014 \u00a0TRC Companies, Inc.<\/a> (TRC), a global professional services firm providing integrated strategy, consulting, engineering and applied technologies, will highlight how utilities are moving beyond incremental fixes toward more integrated, operationally grounded grid solutions at DISTRIBUTECH 2026<\/a> <\/strong>in San Diego, Feb. 2-5.<\/p>\n

Electric utilities are confronting a convergence of pressures that is reshaping how the industry plans, builds and operates the grid – from skyrocketing demand growth, tightening infrastructure constraints, rising resiliency risks to increasing pressure to deliver affordable power. These forces are pushing existing systems to their limits and exposing challenges that can\u2019t \u00a0be addressed through incremental changes or traditional planning approaches alone.<\/p>\n

At the same time, this moment represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to move beyond stopgap fixes and redesign the grid with greater intention, creating a more flexible, resilient and integrated system capable of supporting economic growth, decarbonization and evolving customer expectations. TRC will share practical solutions to help attendees turn that future into reality today.<\/p>\n

\n

The challenge isn\u2019t whether utilities are investing, it\u2019s whether those investments are coordinated, informed and resilient to uncertainty,\u201d said Dr. Matt Green, TRC\u2019s Senior Vice President of Integrated Planning & Advisory. \u201cAs the grid becomes more dynamic, digital and interconnected, successful outcomes depend on approaches that reflect how the system actually operates. That\u2019s what we will showcase at DTECH this year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

TRC and its deep bench of industry-leading experts will have prominent roles across the conference sharing practical solutions for moving beyond short-term fixes to durable, system-wide solutions \u2013 all based on TRC\u2019s successful work as an indispensable partner to so many utilities in the U.S. and globally.<\/p>\n

  1. In its booth on the Expo Floor (booth # 3445\/3549), TRC will highlight how Smart Grid Solutions are helping utilities connect planning, operations and the field. This includes practical advancements toward the Control Room of the Future.<\/li>\n
  2. In the TRC booth, Dr. Matt Green will share insights from his forthcoming publication, \u201cThe Grid Transformation Playbook: Seven Strategies for Achieving Resiliency, Reliability and Sustainability at Lower Costs and Increased Customer Value.\u201d The seven strategies provide a roadmap for utilities to modernize grid operations and thrive in the new era of energy demand.<\/li>\n
  3. TRC will host a two seminars including, \u201cFrom EVs to Everything: A Framework for Beneficial Electrification the Grid Can\u2019t Wait For,\u201d<\/a> presented by \u00a0TRC\u2019s Maddie Emerson, Bidgely\u2019s Abhay Gupta and OGE\u2019s Ryan Jones and \u00a0\u201cOklahoma Gas and Electric\u2019s Mobile and Stationary Energy Storage Strategy Advancement through Self-Managed Pilot Deployment, Research and Testing,\u201d<\/a> featuring presented by TRC\u2019s Mark Evlyn and Michael D\u2019Ambrose, OGE\u2019s Hermes Arevalo and OPPD\u2019s Aaron Smith.<\/li>\n
  4. Stop by our Innovation Zone where TRC will demonstrate applied use cases that show how improved data and analytics support grid performance today. These include Lemur Mobile Field Mapping and visual intelligence solutions that rapidly capture accurate, field-level asset data, improving safety, productivity and system awareness.<\/li>\n
  5. TRC will host a panel titled, \u201cIntegrated Control, Flexible Grid: Modernizing for Tomorrow\u2019s Demands,\u201d which will explore how unifying ADMS, DERMS, AMI and Protection & Control helps utilities increase capacity, strengthen resilience, and\u00a0operate\u00a0with greater visibility and coordination. The panel will feature Miki Deric of TRC, Quinn Nakayama of PG&E, Michael Brown of NV Energy and Emmett Romine of Excel Energy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
