# About

The Future of Power Systems initiative brings together leaders from across industry, finance and policy to accelerate deployment and unlock investment in power systems fit for a new operating reality.


## Mission

To accelerate the deployment of resilient power systems at the scale required to meet rising demand — while strengthening competitiveness and energy security.


## Focus

Innovative power system transformation across two complementary tracks:


### Deployment & System Integration

Scaling deployment-ready infrastructure and system capabilities to meet growing system demand and complexity.


### Emerging Technologies

Advancing emerging technologies that are not yet broadly deployable at scale to shape future system capabilities.

## Enablers

In 2026, the initiative is focusing on advancing the enabling conditions needed to scale both deployment-ready and emerging solutions for power system transformation.


### Market & System Design

Planning, regulation, inclusive deployment


### Financing & Bankability

Risk allocation, revenue models, capital flows

### Delivery & Execution Capacity

Data foundations, standards, supply chains


## Scope of the initiative

The Future of Power Systems initiative spans the full power system value chain—from generation through transmission and distribution to end-use consumption, including the integration of flexibility and emerging system capabilities.This work engages a broad ecosystem of organizations across these areas.
