This Month’s Shared Practice Meeting
This month’s shared practice meeting will be a general discussion of Your FM Metrics Reporting. We had a few calls last year among those interested in talking with others about what they are reporting internally and how they use it. This will continue this discussion based on the interests of those who join the call.
Unrelated to the meeting, Eversource has asked for your input on leasing property for substations – please take the short pre-meeting survey on whether you Lease Substation Sites. It will only take a couple of minutes, and your input is greatly appreciated! (Upon completion you will go to the meeting registration page)
