November 19 Grid Analytics Community – Beyond Forecasting: Building Weather Intelligence into Utility Operations

Join the Grid Analytics Community on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 at 1:00 PM CT for a presentation with Q&A/open discussion on, “Beyond Forecasting: Building Weather Intelligence into Utility Operations” led by Brock Burghardt, PhD, CCM, Certified Consulting Meteorologist at Atmospheric.

Session Description:

Hurricanes, derechos, wildfires, and the polar vortex. Extreme weather drives 80% of power outages, costing businesses $150 billion annually, and the problem is accelerating. While utilities invest heavily in infrastructure hardening and operational analytics, weather intelligence remains a growing and largely underutilized opportunity. This session reveals how forward-thinking utilities transform weather risk into operational excellence through proven frameworks for integrating meteorological data into analytics and decision-making processes. We’ll examine practical examples of available datasets and tools for immediate incorporation into your existing workflows.
