Summary
Mona Fazel of Danovo Energy Solutions will lead a DTECH Reliability & Resiliency session on building an integrated, centralized wildfire management organization for utilities.
20-plus years of utility and energy experience underpin Fazel’s argument that extreme weather, wildfire exposure, electrification, aging infrastructure and rising regulatory expectations have changed what grid reliability now requires.
Her session will replace temporary cross-functional committees with a centralized operating model built around clear accountability, defined decision rights and tighter performance oversight.
That framework is aimed at wildfire mitigation first, but Fazel says utilities can adapt it to broader extreme-weather and disaster-response programs as climate risks converge.
