Let's talk power grid resiliency and wildfire risk management.
Power resilience isn't just about vegetation management anymore.
Today's grid needs next-gen solutions to manage risk from wildfire and weather.
We want to hear from you.
Filsinger Energy Partners supports the wildfire programs of some of the nation's largest and most high-profile utilities providing technical, operational, and strategic guidance, including:
- Wildfire Risk Modeling and Mitigation
- Fire Spread Modeling
- Wildfire Program Auditing and Monitoring
- Meteorology and Climate Science
- Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)
- Vegetation Management Strategies
- Grid Hardening Strategies
- Regulatory Compliance
Curious about what we do? Some of our projects include:
- Assisting Hawaiian Electric to develop their PSPS program, risk modeling, VM and grid hardening strategies and Wildfire Safety Strategy
- Advising the California Governor’s Office in its Observer role of PG&E’s wildfire mitigation programs
- Acting Independent Safety Monitor of PG&E for the California Public Utilities Commission
- Supporting wildfire risk modeling to inform utility participation in the California AB 1054 Wildfire Fund.
- Developing Midwestern wildfire risk tier maps and PSPS programs
- Providing consulting and forecasting services for wildfire meteorology programs

Outage-Proof: Measuring the True Value of Grid Resilience
Speaker Dan Nuñez, Filsinger Energy Partners
Senior Director, Wildfire Mitigation Risk Management
Dan Nuñez has over 16 years of experience in utility risk management. Dan leads wildfire risk management and model development, supporting multiple clients, including Hawaiian Electric Company and PG&E. Dan’s combined utility asset management and wildfire risk experience allows for development of integrated risk models for mitigation planning, and real-time decision support tools for operational programs including inspections and PSPS. In addition, he has provided observations of standards, processes, organization structure and risk mitigation strategies for PG&E that inform critical mitigation programs.
Prior to FEP, Dan worked at Bonneville Power and Portland General Electric where he established their wildfire mitigation programs which included risk models, meteorology, climate and fire science, vegetation management, and asset inspections. Dan also served as the Chair of the International Wildfire Risk Mitigation Consortium for over 4 years in reviewing, benchmarking, maturity and risk auditing for utility wildfire programs worldwide.
Dan’s expertise is in risk modeling and development of wildfire mitigation plans and strategies. Dan has drafted five wildfire mitigation plans with successful regulatory approval. Dan has provided over 5,000 hours of regulatory testimony as an expert witness and has been crucial to leading efforts for cost recovery. Dan holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

As extreme weather events intensify, utilities are investing more in grid resilience measures to prevent, withstand, and recover from disruptions. This session explores how utilities and regulators can assess individual investments in the context of affordability, ensuring they align with system risk, balance other priorities, and account for lifecycle costs. Is there a common framework we can develop to quantify the benefits of resilience projects—such as avoided outages, faster restoration, and reduced customer harm—and how can planning tools help target high-risk areas and guide strategic grid hardening decisions?
