2025.10.21 | Why Do Grid Reliability Failures Plague $28 Billion Utility Capital Plans?
Update: 2025-10-21
Description
Massive acceleration is driving billions of dollars into utility modernization—but is basic component quality control failing the effort? We examine the tension between First Energy's huge $28 billion capital program and the immediate operational hurdles, such as recurring substation failures in new infrastructure that point to potential systemic flaws. Discover why access to skilled labor, not funding, is the primary execution risk for successful grid modernization and how advanced tech like the Terrestrial Energy nuclear IPO is moving forward despite these challenges. Learn what internal metrics your organization needs to track to prevent small component failures from derailing multi-billion dollar programs.
