Note from the editor At the end of 2017, the power sector seems more unpredictable than ever. Wholesale markets are in flux, major utility projects are failing and consumers are adopting advanced technologies at an accelerating rate.
It’s at these times that you turn to Utility Dive for in-depth news and analysis. And that’s exactly why we need your help today.
We're nearly at the end of our collection period for responses to the 2018 State of the Electric Utility Survey, our annual research report that captures the trends, technologies and troubles shaping the sector. The survey will close this Friday, Dec. 22.
We need your help to ensure our report captures the full picture of the power industry. You can do your part for the sector by taking the survey today. All respondents will receive a free copy of the report, so 10 minutes of your time today can give you a year’s worth of industry insight.
Our 2017 report is available for free download here. Thanks for your participation!
