Strategic Planning Process

• Spring Meeting Prioritize Projects – Program Advisors:

• Evaluate specific R&D needs• Prioritize by value, timing

– Sector Council:• Determine proper scope, balance• Identify crosscutting activities

• Incorporate priorities into new year Portfolio– How do we “operationalize” longer-term goals?– Review new areas for program growth; shifts in focus

• Fall Meeting Update Strategic Plans– “Line of Sight” for new R&D activities

Strengths• World-class climate staff;

recognized leaders in other areas• Reputation for thought leadership,

credibility, and impact• Alignment with key U.S. regulatory

and legislative drivers

Weaknesses• Coal-based asset focus • Few international members• Most staff “one deep”• Viewed as “strategic” investment

without clear, direct R.O.I.

Opportunities• New focus on environmental

aspects of renewables• Good basis of past water work• International EMF/RF program• Common needs between U.S. and

non-U.S. members

Threats• Free ridership• Loss of objectivity• Member financial deterioration• Rapid changes in regulatory or

legislative agendas

Strengths• EPRI thought leadership• Strong executive relationships with key

funders• Solid foundation for successfully

bidding, winning and executing government jobs

• Strong technical staff

Weaknesses• Smart Grid resources are highly valued • Lower collaborative leverage when

comparing to Generation and Nuclear• T/D/EU – three distinct chains of

command and R&D budget for most members

• Selected gaps in internal competence

Opportunities• Increased government funding • Collaboration with government and

utilities • Key research needs are PDU related

Threats• Members engage directly with

state/federal agencies• Downturn in utility earnings• Delay in energy legislation forces

uncertainty for carbon, efficiency and Smart Grid efforts
