Our History

The roots of the organization trace back to 1971, when a dedicated group of utility professionals came together with a shared vision for advancing the energy sector. What began as a volunteer collective is now an incorporated nonprofit, still built around the same idea: the people responsible for the grid learn the most when they meet in person, once a year, in one place.
