DESCRIPTION:The talk discusses the urgent transformation of the electric po
 wer grid to meet rising energy demands—especially from data centers—wh
 ile enabling large-scale renewable integration and enhanced resilience. It
  emphasizes the need for advanced technologies\, strategic planning tools\
 , and coordinated technical\, regulatory\, and financial frameworks to ens
 ure a sustainable energy transition. The speaker\, Pavanchandra Mandava\, 
 a Principal Engineer at NextEra Energy\, brings over a decade of global ex
 perience in power systems\, renewable integration\, and grid modernization
