Challenges
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is committed to leading the charge toward a more sustainable energy future. To navigate the growing complexity of utility asset management driven by electrification, extreme weather, and technological change, SDG&E partnered with U2030 to craft a forward-thinking approach to asset modernization supported by robust change management principles.
Approach
Through discovery interviews, cross-functional change readiness workshops, and benchmarking, U2030 helped SDG&E align around a unified vision, clarify operational roles, and identify high-impact priorities for asset modernization and technology integration.
Outcomes
According to Kevin Geraghty, COO and Chief Safety Officer, “U2030’s innovative facilitation style kept everyone engaged and aligned on shared goals.” The initiative produced a clear strategic roadmap and strengthened SDG&E’s internal collaboration and change culture. U2030 continues to facilitate quarterly check-ins and global best-practice exchanges, ensuring progress remains steady and learning continuous, with Michael Schneider, SVP and Chief Transformation Officer, noting, “This project isn’t just about adapting—it’s about shaping the sustainable future we want to lead.”
