Reliability. Resiliency. Recovery.
Let’s challenge the way we think about power infrastructure decisions. PDi2’s purpose is to drive maximum power grid resiliency and reliability at the lowest life-cycle cost. We gather and disseminate information to help determine which power delivery solutions—overhead or underground—to employ.
Undergrounding in Resilience
Read the new Public Utilities Fortnightly Special Report: “The Role of Undergrounding in Electricity System Resilience.”
Utilities are increasingly undergrounding. Innovation has decreased its costs. Increased its reliability. Extended service life.
Drill down on these developments in undergrounding.
Industry Insights
Our Research
PDi2 aims to be a clearinghouse of information that helps inform how the power industry makes power infrastructure decisions. Our research comprises both original projects commissioned by PDi2 and a resource library compiled from secondary research including utility project case studies and the hottest topics that impact the industry.
Let’s Challenge How We Think
Weather events. Security. Long-term reliability. Operations and maintenance costs over the life a system. When it comes to considerations for building or rehabilitating power infrastructure, the environment is right for a change in philosophy. Let’s reconsider today’s view where initial investment cost is a core driver.
We will engage in activity that considers quantifiable factors that take into account the longer-term effects on society, our customers, our environment and our businesses. Our goal is to put all the facts on the table by working with our distinguished members and their networks to:
- Aggregate experience
- Collect current data and information
- Sponsor new research to answer tough questions with facts about both overhead and underground power delivery infrastructure
