Public Policy

No membership service that UTC offers is valued more by our members than that offered by UTC’s in house legal staff, working with volunteers, to represent our membership on key public policy issues before federal and state governments.

In the future, we will be listing all smart networks policy issues reports on this page as well. Please return regularly.

UTC’s mission has always to ensure that lawmakers and regulators understand and address the unique needs of our members. Ensuring a vibrant environment for the advanced metering and distribution automation has been a high priority for UTC for over 30 years. In addition to working with volunteers from member companies, UTC created the Critical Infrastructure Communications Coalition through which UTC involves all the major energy and water trade associations with full-time Washington lobbying staffs. Directly, and working through industry coalitions such as the GridWise Alliance, UTC’s Smart Networks Council has a well-known and well-respected voice in Washington. In the year ahead, UTC will be expanding that voice to include key state legislatures and public utility commissions.
