Power Resilience Forum 2026 Pre-Conference Workshop: EPRI Climate READi Framework

Event Overview

Join us in Houston, TX, on January 21, 2026, for a special EPRI Climate READi half-day workshop, held in conjunction with the Power Resilience Forum (January 21–23).

The Power Resilience Forum (PRF) 2026 is the premier event on grid resiliency, bringing together leaders from across the power sector to address the new realities of planning and operating the grid in an era of extreme weather and wildfires.

This pre-conference workshop will equip participants with practical tools and strategies to assess and manage physical climate risk to the power system, while identifying effective adaptation pathways. Developed with input from more than 40 power companies and 100 global stakeholders, the Climate READi Framework offers a rigorous, standardized approach to evaluating climate risk and guiding investment decisions.  As extreme weather events increasingly challenge grid resilience, this session will provide actionable insights for forward-looking risk management and highlight the importance of coordinated planning and stakeholder engagement. 

A detailed agenda will be shared soon. Lunch will be provided.

Please note: Registration for this pre-conference workshop is separate from the Power Resilience Forum. Attendees must register for both events.
