Note from the editor It's an understatement to say 2017 has been a disruptive year for the power sector. With the entrance of the Trump administration, in addition to surprise bankruptcies and major technological achievements, Utility Dive has noted the most significant of these in its latest round of Dive Awards.
On Monday, Dec. 4, Utility Dive will roll out the 2017 Utility Dive Awards. Taken together, the Dive Awards recognize the power sector’s top innovators and disruptors. These executives, companies, trends and breakthroughs are transforming the industry and shaping what’s to come.
In the meantime, be sure to take a look back at the 2016 Utility Dive Awards. As always, thank you for reading Utility Dive.
