Note from the editor Hello, allow me to formally introduce myself. I am the newest member of the Utility Dive team. I cover utilities and other energy industries and look forward to working with this great team to tackle important and complex developments in the power sector.
Please check your inbox later today for a special newsletter about the vital discussions on grid security.
Utility Dive covers reports and proposed legislation impacting the physical and cybersecurity of the grid. The Spotlight on Grid Security brings a more in-depth look at the way utilities are working to address cybersecurity on a distributed grid, hardening against natural disasters and training utility workers.
I welcome you to reach out to me via email or Twitter on industry topics you want to know more about.
