Don Adcock, Sr. Manager, Power Delivery Vegetation Mgmt Operations at Entergy, joins us to discuss how utilities are transitioning from traditional time-based vegetation cycles to more targeted, risk-based planning. Don shares how Entergy has evolved its approach in response to wildfire risk, storm exposure, regulatory pressure, and rapid load growth across the Southeast. He explains how circuit segmentation, condition-based triggers, and emerging technology help utilities focus resources where risk is highest while maintaining safety, reliability, and cost discipline. The conversation also covers contractor partnerships, regulatory coordination, and why vegetation management is now central to overall utility risk mitigation.
