Our content & community platform is organized around 6 major industry segments (our Networks - Utility Business, Generation, Grid, Intelligent Utility, Energy Management and Energy & Sustainability). Each Network contains multiple community Groups (that you can join and participate in), and Channels (industry blogs that you can follow). Each Network gives you an overview of the content and activity in its individual groups.
Joining a group allows you to access great content from you peers, connect with your peers in your specialty, ask questions and contribute your insights and knowledge .
