Guide to Energy and Utilities Organizations
Stay abreast of industry issues, news and trends by joining energy and utilities organizations
By Tai G., Writer
Becoming a member of the right organization opens the door to a wealth of expertise. You will be exposed to many networking opportunities, information and resources. Additionally, energy associations may also provide invaluable services that include new products, education opportunities and industry support. When looking for membership with a utilities organization, remember the following:
1. Make sure the professional energy organization you're interested in is credible. Check BBB or other industry accreditations.
2. Many organizations don’t stipulate membership for certification.
3. Most organizations charge fees for memberships, so make sure you’re getting your money’s worth before you pay.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Become a member of an accredited utilities association
Although many organizations offer information, tools and resources to non-members, you can benefit substantially from becoming a member. Membership opens the door to additional services, products and representation. Register as a business rather than as just an individual, if possible, so your employees can benefit from the membership.
I recommend: Northeast Energy Efficiency Council provides member benefits that include networking opportunities and industry representation. The American Wind Energy Association offers educational programs and discounts, in addition to their membership benefits.
Take advantage of certification opportunities provided by utilities associations
Progress stops for no one, and you need to advance as a professional by keeping your industry skills sharp and current. Take advantage of educational programs and tools to assist you and your employees in knowledge development and career advancement. Many organizations offer information on upcoming seminars, conferences, business development courses and other industry-related programs, in addition to industry certifications.
I recommend: The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association and the Solar Electric Power Association both offer a calendar of events for educational and networking opportunities.
Find online professional energy organizations that maintain active web forums
The forum on an industry organization's website can be a great source of support. Forums are a real-time communication opportunity. Any business with a question or concern can raise it in a forum and receive up-to-date responses from a variety of experts. Check to see that forum discussions have current activity before you join.
I recommend: The Association of Energy Services Professionals provides a forum for professionals to share questions, concerns and ideas. The American Public Power Association's discussion forums span topics that include accounting and finance, community broadband, and generation and fuels.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Networking is a great business tool. Make sure you're stocked with business cards so you can market yourself and your company at the next professional utilities organization event.
