Unlocking Utility Scalability With Strategic Program Management Offices
Utilities manage massive initiatives, including transmission upgrades, broadband deployments, storm-hardening programs and distributed energy resource (DER) interconnection projects. These initiatives are often executed on tight deadlines, span multiple regions, involve diverse stakeholders, encompass challenging regulatory hurdles and demand precise coordination.
Traditional project management methods are effective for single project efforts, but when dozens of projects are worked on simultaneously, complexity and issues can escalate. That is where a program management office (PgMO) comes in, providing structure, scalability and predictability across a utility’s entire program or capital spend portfolio.
