For over a century, energy companies have embraced a well-understood and reliable paradigm. Fossil fuel (or electricity generated from it) passes along transmission and distribution lines from centralized locations to homes and businesses. 

That familiar model is now undergoing dramatic and accelerated changes, forcing utilities to reconsider how they operate a resilient and reliable power system. 

Urbint and Utility Dive’s studioID surveyed 150 utility leaders to better understand the industry's most pressing challenges and the most promising tools to help navigate such momentous change. Their response was clear: The stakes are high, both for the industry itself and society as a whole.

This new research report highlights the survey results, featuring leaders’ responses and opinions on:

• High priority initiatives regarding risk mitigation
• Tools and technologies they plan to implement to mitigate risk in the coming years
• How they are using AI (if at all) to improve operations
