The needs of the grid are rapidly evolving. This changes the context in which asset managers traditionally have operated. As a result, some asset classes will be progressively phased out while new ones are deployed and commissioned.

This calls for the development and implementation of more agile and effective risk-based methodologies to make prudent decisions around asset investment. Archana will share how some of these challenges are being addressed at Western Power.
