Our Climate Change Resiliency Plan

Proactive upgrades and state-of-the art solutions make our energy grid more resilient to higher temperatures, rising sea levels, and extreme weather.

We collaborated with Columbia University’s Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory to conduct a sweeping, multi-year study to evaluate our present-day infrastructure, design specifications, and procedures against expected climate changes.

By gaining a better understanding of projected climate changes across our service area—including increasing temperatures, heavier precipitation events, sea-level rise, and extreme weather—we’re able to identify system vulnerabilities, prioritize investments, and future-proof our infrastructure.
