Utilities face a complex web of financial, operational, and regulatory risks that are magnified by rapid technological change, aging infrastructure, and heightened stakeholder expectations. A disciplined approach to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) enables utility leaders to identify, assess, and mitigate these risks before they affect reliability, safety, or financial performance.

Microreactors—compact nuclear power units typically generating 10 - 50 megawatts of thermal energy—are quickly becoming one of the most exciting developments in clean energy. Designed to be modular, mobile, and self-regulating, these small-scale reactors offer a flexible and carbon-free solution for a wide range of energy needs.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are essential to utility operations, supporting process efficiency, regulatory compliance, and financial transparency. But ERP implementation is complex and high-stakes. Here are five key strategies for success

Utilities and electric cooperatives operate much like other major organizations. In larger operations, there are often clear career paths that allow employees to grow, take on new responsibilities, and move into leadership roles. To advance, it’s important to stand out and consistently deliver value to the organization.

Whether you’re an auditor, accountant, or looking to move up in your career, success isn’t just about knowing the numbers—it’s about staying curious, adapting to change, and always looking for ways to add value. What is the path to success?

Major decisions in an electric cooperative or utility should be implemented by the approval of the Board of Directors (or City Council). The power and utilities industry is complex and may be unfamiliar to newer board members. This raises an important question: How can the board be effective and understand the business well enough to make informed and strategic decisions?
