Who Should Attend The energy industry has undergone substantial change—not the least of which is the hiring practice. 20 years ago new utility staff would start out learning the ropes by working up through the ranks. Now the industry finds hiring staff from other industries to be advantageous in this fast moving business environment—but this often means that they don’t have the full picture of the industry. This course is intended for anyone working in the energy industry including public interest groups, legislative staff, regulatory staff, state and local government personnel. It is intended for all energy professionals who would like a better idea of how the physical, financial and political pieces fit together. Benefits Attendees will obtain practical, non-technical knowledge of the operations and technology of the natural gas and electricity industries from the ground to the customer’s bill.
