Energy providers worldwide face increasing risks due to extreme weather events. The unprecedented wildfires in 2023 and the February 2024 cold stint in Alberta served as stark reminders. But the risks extend beyond these isolated incidents.Extreme heatwaves, intense storms, and prolonged droughts threaten our communities and assets.

ATCO recognizes the heightened risk that comes with the increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather we have been experiencing.

ATCO Electric is proactively addressing these risks and targeting our work to mitigate the effects of extreme weather. We are committed to ensuring our networks remain safe, reliable and resilient to climate impacts. Our dedicated Climate Adaptation and Reliability team is working to ensure we adapt to increasingly extreme weather events to maintain the reliability of our assets and the services we provide to our communities.

We are investigating new and innovative tools and technologies that enable us to:

• Monitor and assess weather and prepare for extreme weather, 
• Detect weaknesses in our system so we can address them prior to weather events, 
• Prepare for and manage weather-related emergencies and other types of emergencies that may put our ability to serve our customers at risk,
