Future of Power Generation Survey |

 Each issue of the CHELCO News and CHELCO E-Newsletter, from January 2008 until the present, has contained an article explaining power supply issues globally and locally. We hope our members have read each article and are ready to answer a survey, which will be mailed in January.

The results will be addressed in a comprehensive article in a future issue of CHELCO's magazine. |
