Committee Service:

Regulatory & Technology Committee

The Regulatory Committee was formed to address pressing regulatory developments of interest to ENTELEC’s membership. All Members of ENTELEC are eligible to join the Regulatory & Technology Committee. Corporate and Associate members of ENTELEC are eligible to join the Regulatory & Technology Committee and will be entitled to one vote and may authorize an unlimited number of representatives to become involved in the work of the Committee.

Consistent with the association’s Bylaws, the mission of the ENTELEC Regulatory &Technology Committee is “to share information and take advocacy positions in legislative, administrative, regulatory, and judicial proceedings on behalf of the association as are necessary to promote engineering, design, construction, maintenance, administration, and operation of telecommunications, automation, electrical power, information processing systems, and other electrical and electronic facilities employed in the energy industries.”

All members of ENTELEC are eligible to join the Regulatory & Technology Committee.  ENTELEC believes that including end-user energy companies as well as vendor/consultants best represents the interests of all members of the association while enabling the Committee to speak with the broadest possible voice on behalf of the industry.  We welcome the opportunity to bring together vendors and users in the energy industry in a way that promotes our mutual interests in the regulatory and technology arenas.
