AEIC is a 140-year-old room full of people who actually like solving these problems together. Here is some of that — the faces, the meetings, the conversations, and what members say about being part of it.
Moments from the 141st Annual Meeting — the panels, the hallway conversations, and the Achievement Awards.
Our most engaged members of 2025 — the ones who showed up, in person and on the work, across committees, workshops, and the Annual Meeting.
Umair was AEIC's most engaged member of 2025. He helps lead the Electric Power Apparatus Committee, was in the room at both the 2024 and 2025 Annual Meetings, traveled to the in-person workshops in Washington and Chicago and for the NextGen Control Center session, and completed all six Advanced Executive Leadership sessions. When there is a room to be in, Umair is in it.
As Director of Oncor's Distribution Operations Center, Hagen chairs the Distribution System Operations subcommittee and co-chairs the Data Framework Working Group, where he is helping build the shared data foundation the whole membership can use. He brought Oncor to both Annual Meetings and completed all six Advanced Executive Leadership sessions. He is the kind of member who turns a working group into actual work.
As Executive Vice President and COO of Eversource and a member of the AEIC Board, Paul brings senior operating leadership to the room. He was at both the 2024 and 2025 Annual Meetings, traveled to the in-person Washington workshop, and completed all six Advanced Executive Leadership sessions. Proof that the most senior people in our utilities still make time to show up and do the work.
Hosted by Dr. Elizabeth Cook, the Grid Mod Pod brings utility leaders on to work through the real questions of modernizing the grid — practical, practitioner-to-practitioner, and never a vendor pitch. New conversations weekly on Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you listen.
Why members keep coming back to the room.
“The true benefit of being a member of AEIC is hearing and learning from our members — how we are all exploring the use of technology together.”
“AEIC doesn’t replace internal expertise — it amplifies it by shortening the learning curve on decisions.”
“We have changed so many of our practices as a result of the peer engagement with AEIC. Cross-over items between utilities on near-misses and reporting have helped improve our safety, culture and performance.”
