Positioning the grid for a new era of growth, service and flexibility The 8th Grid Modernization & Resiliency Summit 2026 is a focused, networking-centric forum dedicated to the engineering, operational, and regulatory requirements of a rapidly evolving power system. The Summit brings together executives from utilities, system operators, national labs, and solution providers to address the practical challenges of upgrading North America's distribution and transmission infrastructure. As electrification accelerates, DER penetration increases, and extreme-weather events intensify, utilities face unprecedented system complexity and the need to modernize their networks. Indeed, over 70% of U.S. transmission lines are more than 25 years old -- nearing the end of their typical 50-to-80-year lifecycle -- and almost 70% of large power transformers in the U.S. are over 25 years old, increasing vulnerability to failure. This Summit is designed to address this situation by focusing on applied solutions, implementation strategies, and technology deployments for improving grid reliability, services flexibility, stability and operational resilience.
