Note from the editor What’s better than two for the price of one? Two for the price of none! That’s what Utility Dive brings you this Thursday — two free webinars on our landmark 2017 State of the Electric Utility survey. First, join me at 12:30 EST for a live discussion of the survey findings with NV Energy’s DR and DER manager Michael Brown. You can register for that talk, part of PLMA’s DR Dialogue series, here. Later, gain a deeper understanding of the findings with Utility Dive’s own survey webinar, “Utilities in the Age of Trump.” That discussion will feature an all-star panel of former FERC Commissioner Tony Clark, APPA President and CEO Sue Kelly, and energy consultants Jesse Jenkins and Zach Pollack. You can register for the 2:00 EST webinar here. In the meantime, take a few minutes to review the findings of the State of the Electric Utility Survey itself. Download the 92-page report here. See you Thursday, Gavin Bade Editor, Utility Dive Twitter | E-mail |
