Reliable Data for a Reliable Grid Featuring Srushtee Pawar and Mike Petramalo

In this episode, we take a closer look at what defines good data—and why data quality is essential to decision‑making in the electric reliability industry. Host Joseph Tromba, legal counsel at SERC, is joined by data analytics experts Mike Petramalo and Srushtee Pawar to explore how reliable, consistent, and accurate data strengthen reliability assessments, risk identification, and long‑term planning across the region. You’ll learn: * Why bad data can be more harmful than no data * The four characteristics of high‑quality data: current, consistent, complete, and correct * Why data quality is a continuous process, not a one‑time task * How utilities and data submitters play a critical role in improving data quality * Why strong data foundations matter even more in the age of AI This episode is especially relevant for professionals in energy, reliability, planning, compliance, analytics, or any role that relies on data to inform critical decisions. Be sure to note that the new SERC website is www.serc.org [https://www.serc.org/]
