Episode 3: Keeping the Lights On

In August of 2003, a combination of transmission line outages and communications failures in the Midwest led to one of the largest blackouts in U.S. history, plunging much of the eastern seaboard into darkness.

Episode 3 of our video series, the Grid of the Future, looks at lessons learned from previous outages and steps we’ve taken to avoid a similar event from happening in the future. We also look at the impacts of major weather-related events, like Hurricane Sandy, and the steps we’re taking to address more frequent extreme weather in the future related to climate change.

Follow the #GridoftheFuture video series where we interview experts from academia, regulatory and others from the power industry, and the New York ISO, and tackle the big picture of the changes to come on the grid. We ask tough questions and offer solutions.
