POWER AND ENERGY SECTION COMMITTEE
The PES membership is relatively big and comprises individuals from various companies that are engaged in various industries within the electrical engineering fraternity.
It is for that reason that we have also formed focus areas such as the Rail Chapter, HVDC Research subcommittee, etc.
