Overview:
The long-standing Environmental Task Force is a group of utility professionals working in all areas of environmental compliance that meet to examine environmental issues and the impact of current and proposed environmental regulations on electric utilities. Industry professionals meet to review and discuss new and proposed regulations and issues facing each utility; and to hear from subject matter experts about key issues of the day and new technology/services. This is a solutions-focused learning and networking venue that brings utility, industry, and government environmental professionals together regularly. This meeting occurs three times each year; in 2025 it will occur Jan. 28, April 14, and in September (exact date TBD).
Topics covered in January will include PCB management, battery storage, vandalism, and streamlined permitting processes.
