April was one for the books!
It was indeed an extraordinary month on Energy Central-- so many new voices, high-profile interviews, and insights gained across the power sector covering everything from Trump's first 100 days in office to the future of a power grid in space. And we did it all with our industry-leading community of utility professionals and energy experts.
The hits were coming so fast that you certainly may have missed some of them, so just to make sure you don't overlook some of the awesome happenings, here's a recap of the top moments from the past month on EnergyCentral.com:
