Why is modernizing the electric grid so complex?

The demand for cleaner, more efficient and affordable energy is growing. But modernizing the electric grid will likely demand innovative solutions. These challenges highlight a need for targeted transformation to help ensure the electric grid of the future is both resilient and capable of integrating new technologies seamlessly.

Increasing load demands
As electrification expands, the existing grid should scale rapidly to meet heightened energy requirements without compromising service quality.

Regulatory complexities
Navigating regulations and compliance issues is important for helping to secure investments and implementing grid upgrades.

Integration of distributed energy resources
Incorporating distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels and electric vehicles, likely requires the grid to evolve from its traditional operations to more flexible and adaptive systems.
