From reactive to predictive: Data-driven asset management for the modern grid

Aging infrastructure already stretches electric utility asset management teams thin, and distributed energy resources add another layer of operational complexity. When field data arrives incomplete, inconsistent, or delayed, planning and maintenance decisions start slipping. Legacy forms and scattered spreadsheets force crews into reactive work, often long after early warning signs appeared. Budgets absorb the impact first, followed quickly by capital plans and reliability metrics.

Fixing those downstream problems starts with the data itself. Clean, consistent field information gives operations and planning a shared view of asset condition. Once teams trust what they see, earlier intervention becomes possible and reactive work loses its grip. Maintenance stops behaving like a cost sink and starts aligning with real system priorities.

This webinar translates these challenges into specific, repeatable practices utility teams can apply.

What you will learn

Attendees will walk away with proven strategies for improving maintenance execution and electric utility asset management decision-making, including how to:

• Exit the reactive cycle. Digitize and standardize field data capture to replace run-to-failure maintenance with planned, predictable work.
  
• Identify failure patterns early. Use consistent, high-quality field data to uncover recurring equipment issues before outages disrupt service.
  
• Prioritize capital spending based on asset condition and risk, Guide major investments using real asset health indicators instead of age-based replacement assumptions.
  
• Improve reliability metrics consistently.  Apply data practices that support sustained improvement in SAIDI and SAIFI performance.
  
• Support DER integration at scale. Prepare aging infrastructure to reliably handle modern two-way power flows.
  

Who should attend

The session is designed for electric utility asset management professionals accountable for asset performance, reliability, and financial outcomes. Directors and managers in Asset Management, Grid Modernization, Reliability Engineering, Field Operations, Maintenance Planning, and Capital Planning will find immediate relevance. 

Teams working to improve SAIDI and SAIFI scores or struggling with inconsistent field reporting will benefit directly. Leaders driving a shift toward disciplined, data-centric operations will gain practical guidance they can apply right away.
