Committee
Power Apparatus
Areas of Focus
- Protection + Controls
- T&D Equipment
- Asset Management
The Power Apparatus committee breaks down silos between electric utilities and the manufacturers of major electric utility power apparatus. As we move towards a more modern grid, the Committee facilitates access to the highest-quality, most economical products that are consistent with electric utility needs.
The Committee meets twice a year in-person and hosts several virtual roundtables throughout the year. The Committee also meets with those organizations responsible for research, technical specifications, standards, and safety.
Members are typically senior vice presidents, vice presidents, directors, general managers, and managers
