Abstract

Four utility leaders discussed realities for their utilities one year into the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting key adaptive mechanisms and the long view of their road ahead.

In the utility sector, decisions of the past dictate the feasible range of responses in the present, and lessons learned today shape potential long-term resilience.
