Wildfires threaten electric companies’ ability to provide reliable and affordable electricity to the customers and communities they serve. With climate change and the emergence of increased extreme weather events, the power delivery systems of the future must be more prepared for wildfire threats and other weather-related dangers. Technology developers, research organizations, and electric companies continue to dedicate significant resources to exploring innovations aimed at reducing this risk. This website and EPRI’s associated RD&D aims to provide stakeholders with the technical basis with which to select and apply technologies and approaches to mitigate wildfire risk.
