Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the Washington State Department of Commerce are hosting the first in a series of workshops focused on improving and supporting grid resilience grant applications. The first workshop will cover ways to plan, use technology, and develop strategies to strengthen the power grid against wildfires, floods, winter storms and other severe weather.
May 7, 2025, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
PNNL Discovery Hall, 650 Horn Rapids Road, Richland, WA 99354
Register to attend the May 7 workshop
- Why attend: Utilities will learn best practices to propose grid resilience investments and craft strong applications for 40101(d) grid resilience grants. Attendees will experience hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge resilience and disaster response analysis tools and have the opportunity to connect with and learn from subject matter experts and other utilities statewide.
- Who should attend: Municipal utilities, public utility districts, rural electric cooperatives, and tribes that own or operate a tribal utility. This first workshop in Richland intends to target utilities in eastern Washington, although any utility in the state is welcome to attend.
A second workshop later this spring will be hosted in western Washington, with details coming soon!
