TRC to Showcase Practical, Integrated Grid Solutions for a New Utility Reality at DISTRIBUTECH 2026

TRC will provide actionable strategies that solve urgent challenges facing the utility industry

WINDSOR, Conn., Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TRC Companies, Inc. (TRC), a global professional services firm providing integrated strategy, consulting, engineering and applied technologies, will highlight how utilities are moving beyond incremental fixes toward more integrated, operationally grounded grid solutions at DISTRIBUTECH 2026 in San Diego, Feb. 2-5.

Electric utilities are confronting a convergence of pressures that is reshaping how the industry plans, builds and operates the grid - from skyrocketing demand growth, tightening infrastructure constraints, rising resiliency risks to increasing pressure to deliver affordable power. These forces are pushing existing systems to their limits and exposing challenges that can't be addressed through incremental changes or traditional planning approaches alone.

At the same time, this moment represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to move beyond stopgap fixes and redesign the grid with greater intention, creating a more flexible, resilient and integrated system capable of supporting economic growth, decarbonization and evolving customer expectations. TRC will share practical solutions to help attendees turn that future into reality today.

"The challenge isn't whether utilities are investing, it's whether those investments are coordinated, informed and resilient to uncertainty," said Dr. Matt Green, TRC's Senior Vice President of Integrated Planning & Advisory. "As the grid becomes more dynamic, digital and interconnected, successful outcomes depend on approaches that reflect how the system actually operates. That's what we will showcase at DTECH this year."

TRC and its deep bench of industry-leading experts will have prominent roles across the conference sharing practical solutions for moving beyond short-term fixes to durable, system-wide solutions – all based on TRC's successful work as an indispensable partner to so many utilities in the U.S. and globally.

TRC invites utility leaders, engineers and planners to visit the booth or schedule a meeting during DISTRIBUTECH 2026 to discuss how we can help you build a more flexible, resilient and integrated grid. To learn more or request a meeting, visit: www.trccompanies.com/events/distributech-2026.
