The Advanced Energy Economy (AEE) has launched a tool that will make navigating state energy policy easier for those in the industry. A fully integrated set of online tools, PowerSuite, tracks energy legislation and regulatory proceedings across all 50 states.

Following new developments in multiple states can be cumbersome and expensive. Until now, staying on top of state energy policy meant navigating legislative and public utility commission websites state by state, many of them confusing and difficult to use, and keeping track of information manually with lists and spreadsheets. AEE developed PowerSuite to help its member companies navigate the complex and ever-changing energy policy and regulatory arena in states across the country.

"With critical information on legislation and utility regulation bottled up in separate websites for each of the 50 states, this was a problem that was ripe for a technology solution," said Steve Chadima, AEE's SVP communications and director of California initiatives. "We think that PowerSuite is the tool that advanced energy companies, professional service providers, and policy advocates have been waiting for."

The searchable database of dockets and legislation enables users to find, track, and collaborate on legislation and utility commission dockets using a common interface. Users can set up notifications of changes in bills or dockets and share summaries, notes, and other information with colleagues.
