Having grown to its teenage years, it’s changed—first with its name, but also with its focus. When POWERGRID International began as Utility Automation, the magazine covered gas and water utilities, as well as electric. It was completely about automation. After a few years, hardware was mixed in with the automation, along with thoughts about financing, expansions and business concepts. With that shift from pure automation, the magazine also changed to cater exclusively to the electric utility’s transmission and distribution (T&D) arm.
