Join NASEO, National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, and researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for a webinar on emerging approaches to proactive planning and investment being adopted by utilities and state jurisdictions across the country. Proactive planning shifts utilities from reacting to grid needs to anticipating them. These approaches are reshaping utility planning processes, cost recovery mechanisms, and performance oversight. This session, scheduled for Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET, is designed for State Energy Office and public utility commission staff and will highlight insights from PNNL’s new report, Examples of State and Utility Actions on Proactive Planning and Investments. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of emerging trends, state and utility actions, and practical considerations for incorporating proactive planning and investment strategies.
