— Utilities are facing an aging asset base. For example, the average age of HV breakers in North America is approximately 30 years old. Utilities also have an aging workforce with nearly 36% of technical employees eligible to retire within five years. At the same time, utilities must meet grid reliability requirements and asset performance goals with increasing pressure on O & M expenses. At this critical juncture, workforce training has become an even more important resource for utilities managing vital power equipment.
