Clean Energy: Designing and Adapting for Extreme Weather
Clean energy facilities are designed to withstand extreme weather, with site-specific plans developed to protect workers, keep communities informed, and maintain grid reliability.
Clean energy projects are built to meet strict design and structural standards intended to withstand various harsh environments, including strong winds, earthquakes, and flooding. Site-specific plans are developed to protect and inform workers and community members during extreme weather conditions.
Like any other type of infrastructure such as buildings and conventional power plants, facilities cannot always withstand the harshest forces of nature and can be damaged after taking a direct hit from an extreme weather event.
But clean energy facilities are uniquely resilient to extreme weather events, and strict regulations guide the facility design, installation, ongoing operations, and maintenance phases to safeguard workers and communities, coordinate with local authorities, and minimize grid impacts.
Discover how clean energy facilities are designed to be resilient to extreme weather, add resilience to our grid, and keep workers and communities safe.
