DTECH Northeast 2026
Extreme Weather. Grid Modernization. DERs. In the Northeast, Every Capital Dollar Has to Work Harder — and Prove It.
Meet IFS Copperleaf at DTECH Northeast 2026
Every utility in the Northeast is planning for the same uncertainty — extreme weather, aging grids, distributed energy — but few can prove their plan is the right one when the board asks why.
IFS Copperleaf is heading to DTECH Northeast 2026, where Jeff Pauska, VP of Product Management for Asset Investment Planning, will moderate a keynote panel on Understanding Real-World Distribution Engineering & Mitigating Operational Risk in the Northeast. Join us on November 4th at 9:45 to hear how distribution engineers leveraging asset condition, advanced sensor deployments, transformer telemetry, and high-resolution field data to anticipate critical asset failures.
The Cost of Reactive Asset Management
Common pain points we hear from asset and capital planning teams:
- No clear view of risk trajectory without intervention
- Asset strategies built in isolation, asset class by asset class
- Budget spent reacting to failures instead of preventing them
- No fast way to produce quantitative backup when decisions are challenged
IFS Copperleaf helps teams build a value-based asset strategy, grounded in quantified risk rather than gut feel. The same intervention logic applies across every asset class, so timing and prioritization hold up no matter who’s asking. Every recommendation traces back to the data behind it, giving teams a repeatable, auditable process instead of a one-off exercise.
