UNDERSTANDING THE ELECTRIC BUSINESS
This course is designed to help directors understand that the electric utility industry is an evolving high-tech system that must be designed and engineered to meet regulatory and consumer standards for reliability, quality, and safety, which in turn requires an appropriate investment on a planned and on-going basis. This course provides directors with an understanding of the key components of the electric utility industry.
Key topics include:
- The basic functions and cost components of generation, transmission, and distribution
- Current and emerging technologies that are impacting utility operations and policies
- Issues related to distributed generation that the board may need to address
- How environmental issues and national policies impact the cooperative
- The board’s role to ensure a safe working environment
