2027 Wildfire Mitigation for Utilities Conference

Wildfire mitigation is now a year-round enterprise risk and reliability program for electric utilities. Utilities are expanding risk modeling, weather and camera networks, technology-enabled inspections, adaptive protection, targeted vegetation management, grid hardening, and customer-focused outage practices. At the same time, regulators and reliability organizations are increasing attention on cost-effective wildfire risk reduction, measurable outcomes, and operational best practices.

This conference is designed for the leaders responsible for turning wildfire strategy into execution. Utility peers, regulators, technical experts, and solution providers will focus on the decisions wildfire program leaders must make: where to spend, how to measure risk reduction, how to operationalize new technology, and how to demonstrate that programs are improving safety and resilience.

Register now for the 7^th Annual EUCI Wildfire Mitigation for Utilities Conference to gain  decision frameworks, performance measures, and peer-tested approaches you can use to strengthen your program, defend investments, and accelerate risk reduction.

This conference will provide attendees an opportunity to:

• Interpret the latest wildfire-related regulatory, reliability, and reporting expectations and translate them into program priorities.
• Build a risk-informed mitigation portfolio that connects ignition likelihood, consequence, cost, and measurable risk reduction.
• Define program metrics and governance that demonstrate effectiveness to executives, regulators, insurers, and communities.
• Assess evolving wildfire conditions and the operational implications of high-wind, low-moisture, and extended fire-weather events.
• Apply advanced modeling, satellite data, weather networks, and machine learning to improve decision-making and situational awareness.
• Evaluate adaptive protection, enhanced powerline safety settings, sectionalizing, and fast fault isolation strategies.
• Prioritize covered conductor, undergrounding, equipment replacement, and other hardening investments based on risk-reduction value.
• Strengthen vegetation and fuels management in high-risk corridors and wildland-urban interface areas.
• Improve PSPS and outage communication, customer support, and coordination with emergency management partners.
• Balance wildfire risk reduction with reliability, affordability, customer impacts, and restoration requirements.
• Design an operating model that connects wildfire strategy, engineering, operations, meteorology, fire science, analytics, and communications.
• Identify practical next steps to scale mitigation work while improving cost discipline, documentation, and program defensibility.
