Gridlock

Gridlock

In each episode of Gridlock, we talk about things that can and must be done to create and protect grid resiliency in the face of increased threats from climate change. As we all know, preparing the grid for climate change requires a prep mentality, smart strategic planning, and having the right resources on the ground to execute these proactive climate-change plans and to have the capability to respond to urgent and unpredictable weather and other climate-change related circumstances. Gridlock is sponsored by Koppers Utility & Industrial Products, the country’s largest American-owned wood pole manufacturer, supplying quality poles and cross-arms to utilities nationwide. Koppers' products are used by utilities of every size to help power the nation’s electrical infrastructure, from the smallest co-op to the largest investor-owned utility.
