Extreme winter weather can pose numerous challenges to power system operations. As the power system transitions towards a low-carbon future, these challenges may intensify with an increase in electrification.

Download the EPRI Quick Insight to see:

• How extreme cold temperatures can cause myriad impacts to the power system, especially if local infrastructure is not designed for such conditions

• Leading practices for power system planning and operations to mitigate extreme winter weather risk

• How historically summer peaking systems may transition to winter peaking as electrification increases

EPRI’s Climate READi (REsilience and ADaptation initiative) is addressing the challenge of assessing impacts of physical climate risks on the power system by convening global thought leaders, members of the scientific community, and other stakeholders to build a consistent, industry-accepted framework to identify optimal adaptation and resilience investments.
