From building the backbone of the regional grid through strategic transmission investments, to strengthening lines that enhance resilience in the face of extreme weather and growing demand, this panel will explore how modern infrastructure underpins reliability through one of the region’s most pressing challenges: how to plan a reliable grid across seams, states, and systems—balancing collaboration and competition to achieve shared regional goals. Join us for a forward-looking conversation on the policies, partnerships, and planning strategies needed to power a more connected Northeast.
