Dear POWER subscriber,

Welcome to T&D POWER Direct, our newest e-letter! We are excited to roll out this new offering in an attempt to keep you abreast of all of the latest content that POWER has published focused on transmission and distribution topics.

Although this issue is being deployed on a Friday in June (before the U.S.'s 4th of July holiday week), we intend to send this new e-letter on the first Monday each month beginning in August. It will feature a sampling of T&D-related articles from our website, not only from our daily news posts, but also from our monthly magazine. We know that you’re busy and don’t always find time to peruse our website, so we think this e-letter will give you a chance to see what we’re covering and allow you to dig deeper into any content that resonates with you. We hope you find this useful, and as always, we welcome your feedback on everything related to our brand.

Sincerely,
Aaron Larson
