From Capital Planning to Capital Defensibility: How Utilities Can Prepare for a More Dynamic Regulatory Future

Utilities are under increasing pressure to explain and defend how investment decisions are made.

As grid modernization, distributed energy resources, affordability concerns, aging infrastructure, and new load growth reshape planning assumptions, regulators and stakeholders are demanding greater transparency into how investments are prioritized, evaluated, and justified.

Yet many utilities still rely on fragmented workflows, disconnected evidence, and manual processes to prepare and defend capital plans under growing scrutiny. This creates a widening gap between investment decisions and the ability to clearly support them.

Join product and UX strategy leaders from IFS Copperleaf as they explore:

Why traditional planning approaches are struggling to keep pace with evolving regulatory expectations

• The growing importance of explainability, traceability, and defensible investment logic
• Common gaps between capital planning workflows and regulatory review
• How leading utilities are modernizing planning practices to create clearer links between decisions, supporting evidence, and regulatory outcomes
• A new solution designed to help utilities close the gap between capital planning and capital defensibility

Learn how utilities are evolving investment planning practices with more connected, transparent, and regulator-ready approaches to capital planning.
