Note from the editor We need your help.
Each year, we turn to you — our readers — to tell us the most pressing challenges and exciting opportunities that the electric power sector is facing. We're asking you to take our State of the Electric Utility Survey, our annual research report that captures the trends, technologies and troubles shaping the sector.
Ten minutes of your time today can provide you with a year’s worth of powerful insights. You can take the survey here. Our latest report will be released in early 2018 after results are analyzed.
Thanks, as always, for doing your part to advance the sector,
 Gavin Bade
