Transforming Substation Sustainability: Smart Strategies to Enable our Energy Transition
Regulators and governments will likely mandate emission reductions for energy infrastructure assets. Utilities need tools and strategies to implement sustainable solutions for substations to ensure communities have uninterrupted electrical service.
Aligned with our Climate Response accelerator, we’ve curated a suite of sustainable substation solutions that can be used by utilities globally as they build their own ‘Substation Sustainability Toolbox.’
Think beyond how we generate and transmit electricity by checking out our recent insights paper.
