Utilities are rising to the challenge of climate change. Leaders, like Larry Bekkedahl, Senior VP of Advanced Energy Delivery at Portland General Electric, and his team, believe investing in advanced R&D, data science and customer relationships are essential building blocks in maintaining the reliability of their system in the face of extreme weather today and in achieving big goals such as being net zero by 2040.
