It’s not extreme weather, even as “major events” become routine. It’s not cybersecurity, even as connections expand across the grid.The real challenge is this: Distribution systems were designed for a different reality.Long gone are the days of predictable demand, one-way power flow and isolated disruptions. At Black & Veatch, we see that leading utilities are no longer debating whether to modernize. They’re deciding how quickly they can do it, and how to do it at scale.Across grid modernization programs globally, three truths consistently emerge. They define what it takes to prepare the distribution system for what’s next:1. Outage response is not a resilience strategyResilience is being redefined in real time. A strategy centered on mobilizing crews and restoring service as quickly as possible i
