About the UDSPUE Program
Distribution planning decides where load growth is met, what gets reinforced and how much the network costs to run. The program covers load forecasting, feeder design, voltage and loss management, reliability targets, distributed generation connection and capital planning. Teams learn to build a defensible multi year plan and present it with clear evidence. Delivered in-house at the client office or live virtual, the sessions use network data and planning scenarios throughout.
