Agenda Topics
Supply chain shortages facing the electric grid
David Batz, Managing Director, Cyber & Infrastructure Security, Edison Electric Institute
- As we electrify the grid, expand distribution and transmission, and respond to extreme weather events, maintaining a secure, reliable supply of transformers is critical to our national security. Batz will offer insight on one of the biggest risks the electric grid is facing today – transformer supply chain shortages and dependence on China and other foreign nations for these devices. He will discuss the risks, the challenges, the mitigations, and spare equipment strategies.
