Daily edition | Nov. 26, 2018 Note from the editor Last year, Utility Dive published the 2017 Dive Awards, which highlighted the executives, companies and innovations — or disruptions — that played an outsized role in shaping the utility industry. Since then, the electric utility sector has continued to see a flurry of developments in advancing rate design and accommodating a shift toward cleaner emissions.
Next Monday, Dec. 3, we’ll publish the 2018 Utility Dive Awards, spotlighting a new set of industry leaders we believe stood out this year.
Some of the biggest stories of the year have featured utilities that have been key to the pivotal transitions in the industry away from a centralized, baseload-focused past. The Utility Dive Awards give us an opportunity to chart the extent of these changes, and we are excited to share them with you.
Stay tuned!
