Hard to believe we're already past the halfway point of 2023, but that's the reality. And with those first 6 months have come some key and compelling utility industry stories-- from clean energy transitions to keeping the grid reliable amid challenging conditions to policy and regulations driving the coming evolution in the sector, the Energy Central Community has been at the forefront of it all.
And as we all use this community to stay on top of the latest news, we especially want to shout out the dedicated members of the community who continue to share and keep us all informed and discussing, debating, and learning as our top contributors.
Those top contributors are valuable to us, and we like to take a moment to take stock of them-- and so that means it's time for our regular check-in to see which heavy-hitting contributors have reached the milestone of the Energy Central 100,000 View Club.
