Climate risks pose a particular set of challenges to electrical utilities, who must manage the direct impacts of climate and weather, as well as how related effects might propagate through networks of interconnected social and environmental risks. In this paper, we present a case study example of climate services development, co-produced between a regional electrical utility and researchers at the University of Arizona, that integrates and adapts a climate risk management framework to better connect university climate expertise with utility needs for climate risk management and planning. We detail the process by which our project team partnered with the utility to identify primary areas of concern for the electrical utility sector in the Southwest, and craft a qualitative assessment of these climate risks with the utility. We describe the iterative engagement process where operational implications associated with climate risks were identified including points of intervention for the utility, as part of their integrated resource planning process, and the cascading impacts that play a part in the larger decision context. We emphasize the role of novel analyses and curated data and information in the development of tailored climate services, as well as the importance of cultivating collaborative relationships between university researchers and community stakeholders and practitioners early on in research projects in order to better include their values, perspectives, and insights in the research process.

气候风险给电力公司带来了一系列特殊挑战，电力公司必须管理气候和天气的直接影响，以及相关影响如何通过相互联系的社会和环境风险网络传播。在本文中，我们提供了一个气候服务开发的案例研究示例，该案例是由一家地区性电力公司和亚利桑那大学的研究人员共同制作的，它整合并调整了气候风险管理框架，以更好地将大学的气候专业知识与公用事业需求联系起来。气候风险管理和规划。我们详细介绍了我们的项目团队与公用事业公司合作的过程，以确定西南地区电力公用事业部门关注的主要领域，并通过公用事业公司对这些气候风险进行定性评估。我们描述了迭代参与过程，在该过程中，确定了与气候风险相关的运营影响，包括公用事业的干预点（作为其综合资源计划过程的一部分），以及在较大决策环境中起作用的级联影响。我们强调新颖的分析和精选的数据和信息在量身定制的气候服务的开发中的作用，以及在研究项目初期尽早培养大学研究人员与社区利益相关者和从业者之间的合作关系的重要性，以便更好地纳入他们的价值观，研究过程中的观点和见解。作为其整合资源计划流程的一部分，而级联影响则在更大的决策环境中发挥作用。我们强调新颖的分析和精选的数据和信息在量身定制的气候服务的开发中的作用，以及在研究项目初期尽早培养大学研究人员与社区利益相关者和从业者之间的合作关系的重要性，以便更好地纳入他们的价值观，研究过程中的观点和见解。作为其整合资源计划流程的一部分，而级联影响则在更大的决策环境中发挥作用。我们强调新颖的分析和精选的数据和信息在量身定制的气候服务的开发中的作用，以及在研究项目初期尽早培养大学研究人员与社区利益相关者和从业者之间的合作关系的重要性，以便更好地纳入他们的价值观，研究过程中的观点和见解。
