The challenge utilities now face is to demonstrate that current efforts will produce tangible outcomes, both strategic and financial, in the near-term.
Felt like a visit to the United Nations General Assembly. There were representatives of the electricity industries of every continent, save Antarctica, at the Edison Electric Institute’s 4th Annual Global Electrification Forum on April 10. It reminds us that the accomplishments, changes and challenges in electricity are common internationally. And that sharing experiences and ideas with utilities and utility regulators across the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania is invaluable.
