An E Source white paper
Diversity, equity, and inclusion isn’t a new concept for utilities, but there is a new energy equity movement sweeping the utility industry. In this white paper, we present our energy equity framework that will benefit customers, utilities, and underserved communities.

As we look back on the 2020 E Source Forum, one theme stands out: change. We not only hosted the first virtual E Source Forum but also hosted the biggest Forum yet and amid COVID-19 and a changing economic and political climate. Find out which sessions were the biggest hits among utility attendees.
At this year’s E Source Forum, we featured 27 sessions across two days and four themes: postpandemic recovery, decarbonization, utility of the future, and serving vulnerable communities. Find out which sessions were most popular, catch up on the key takeaways, and watch the session recordings.
