Climate READi: EPRI’s Framework for Climate Resilience and Adaptation

In April 2022, EPRI launched the Climate Resilience and Adaptation Initiative (Climate READi) to strengthen the planning, design, and operation of a resilient power system against climate and weather risk. Developed in collaboration with over forty electric companies and one hundred organizations, EPRI released the Climate READi: Power Framework in May 2025.

This framework provides a science-based, collaborative framework for physical climate risk assessment and adaptation planning in the electric power sector. Since Climate READi launched, the U.S. has experienced seventy climate-related disasters, resulting in a combined loss of nearly three hundred forty billion dollars. Stakeholders across the industry require data-driven insights into how the grid will perform under current and evolving climate conditions.
