Voices of Experience | Electrification & Equity
Voices of Experience (VOE) is produced by the Department of Energy's Advanced Grid Research and Development division. Realizing the benefits of bringing utilities together to share their experiences, the VOE initiative collects and shares the experiences, insights, and lessons learned of utility representatives implementing emerging technology. VOE is unique in that it compiles the valuable insights and advice provided directly by utility personnel at the forefront who are working the challenges, interconnecting the new resources, and testing the emerging technology. Utilities participated in working group discussions, regional meetings and individual interviews with the purpose of sharing industry knowledge so that all utilities can better prepare for the operational challenges they face in this changing industry.

Strategies & Approaches to Addressing Energy Equity at Investor-Owned Utilities
•
Grid Talk
Investor-owned utilities (IOUs) experience their own set of unique requirements and standards to serve electric customers. Given these requirements, how must IOUs balance traditional legal requirements for service with addressing energy equity? What are the interpretations and notions of addressing energy equity and how are utilities moving past this to implement equity strategies and actions? This discussion focuses on the experiences of IOUs and include topics such as terminology around energy equity, internal messaging, and equity strategies.
