- Consumers (including residential, retail and/or commercial representatives)
- Energy Related Businesses and Services (examples of representation might include financial, aggregators, innovation & research, smart grid, conservation or gas utilities)
The deadline for the submission nominations is February 10, 2017.
If you are interested in nominating yourself or another candidate for consideration as a Technical Panel member, please submit:
