The Challenge

Complex Grid Constraints

The utility needed a credible net-zero plan but faced complex constraints across generation, transmission, and compliance timelines. Without scenario modeling and governance, decisions were either delayed or oversimplified.

  • Conflicting timelines between assets and regulatory requirements.
  • Unclear scenario outcomes across demand and supply assumptions.
  • Governance gaps slowing cross-team alignment.
