To help utilities and operators more effectively evaluate how climate change will impact their business and operations, EPRI’s Climate READi research initiative has developed a six-stage process to collect, analyze, and share climate change information specific to their region. Power system planners, asset operators, and risk management professionals can use this approach to explore the physical climate risks they face now, and to show how these risks may change in the future. The steps include collaborative discussions with stakeholders to launch the process, followed by scoping the nature of the process and the hazards involved, determining the best metrics to measure and show the climate-related impact, analyzing the results, and sharing what has been learned.
