Outcomes of this broad industry initiative will provide key elements to:･Ensure safe T&D workspaces. Evaluate T&D disinfectant processes, personal protective
equipment (PPE), and health monitoring.

･Maintain operational excellence. Evaluate and develop T&D work processes and facility
designs to enable safe, reliable, and efficient pandemic operations.

･Prepare for future demand impacts. Assess and forecast pandemic demand impacts andmitigate potential operating challenges.

･ Understand sustainability implications. Assess pandemic impacts on decarbonization

pathways and renewable energy targets.

Please join us for the launch of this important research initiative as we provide more
