EEI Co-Hosts Western Wildfire Workshop
June 2024
In May, EEI co-hosted a Western Wildfire Workshop in conjunction with the Western National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners meeting. The workshop focused on the increased intensity of wildfires over the last several years and the significant implications for customers, communities, and energy providers. EEI member company executives, state commissioners, forest management experts, and representatives from municipal and cooperative energy providers, insurance companies, and the financial community, gathered to discuss the necessary partnerships and complex solutions needed to address and mitigate wildfire risk.
