Note from the editor Dear readers,
One week from today, we will announce the winners of the 2016 Utility Dive Awards. It's taken months of work, gathering reader input and talking to industry insiders about potential nominees before whittling it down to ten winners.
Some of the categories are classic industry categories such as executive and company of the year. But we also highlighted the most disruptive ideas and ambitious projects in the power sector.
Stay tuned to see which of your colleagues, ideas and projects won. In the meantime, check out our reporter Robert Walton's feature on the chances of a major bipartisan energy bill before President-elect Trump takes office.
As always, feel free to email or tweet me at the links below with any questions or comments. Thanks for reading Utility Dive!
