  • Convey qualitative and quantitative value of underground to all stakeholders
  • Develop common methods by which cable systems can be evaluated from both a utility and public value perspective
  • Communicate the methodology to utilities, individual state utility commissions and other influencers
  • Actively promote developed models as an enabler for grid extension in North America with all members of the value chain – including utilities
  • Influence more actively as part of the North America power industry
