Daily edition | Aug. 22, 2018 Note from the editor Covering electric utilities, our reporters can never be too plugged in. That's why we value input from our readers as we look ahead to our end-of-year coverage.
We want to know what generation or transmission and distribution project you think has set the course for the wider industry this year. Is it a storage system that came online at the beginning of the year? Or perhaps an unprecedented pipeline development or a new contract for an unexpected deployment?
Send us a quick email with what you think has had the most impact in 2018.
And thank you for reading Utility Dive.
