Speaker: Shikhar Pandey, Principal - GridCo Partners

This talk presents a practical guide for assessing and improving distribution system resilience through six key metrics, categorized into system performance and operational performance during storm events. System metrics focus on infrastructure robustness and energy delivery under stress, while operational metrics capture the utility's ability to detect, respond, and restore. Drawing from real-world utility applications and recent grid disruptions, the session introduces a framework for measuring resilience in a manner that supports investment decisions, regulatory alignment, and community expectations. The guide aims to unify technical rigor with policy relevance, offering utilities a repeatable structure to track and enhance distribution resilience over time.
