A record-setting gathering of over 22,600 utility professionals from all 50 states and 59 countries. Thank you so much to all of our incredible attendees, exhibitors, and staff that made this THE LARGEST UTILITY EXPO EVER. 🏆💙 Next show: 📅 October 5-7, 2027 📍 Louisville, KY

Wrong answers only: what does this piece of equipment do? Go.

The next generation of utility workers won’t find the industry by accident. If we want more young people to choose the trades, we have to show them what the work looks like—and where it can lead. Read more: theutilityexpo.com/news/buil…

Some utility crews have a four-legged teammate on the job. It’s one more example of the many tools, skills, and teams behind safe utility service!

Your equipment doesn’t age by the calendar. It ages by how it’s used. 12-hour days on rough terrain ≠ three weeks parked. See how utilization data can help you stay ahead of maintenance needs and avoid downtime: theutilityexpo.com/news/fixi…

A high number of near-miss reports doesn’t always mean a crew is less safe. It can mean people are paying attention and feel comfortable speaking up. Strong safety cultures catch the small things before they become bigger ones. What helps your crew speak up?

One supplier can become one big bottleneck. Our latest article looks at why multi-sourcing matters when materials get tight and schedules are on the line. Read more: sbrew.link/GNhxbr8K

On Energy Efficiency Day, we’re recognizing the work behind every efficiency gain. Planning. Upgrades. Maintenance. Field work. It all adds up to a more efficient, reliable grid.

Cyber threats are putting water systems’ resilience to the test. When digital systems go down, experienced operators can keep treatment moving. Cybersecurity isn’t just about prevention. It’s about being ready to operate through disruption. #WaterUtilities #Cybersecurity

🏆 We’re going to need a bigger trophy case. The Utility Expo has been recognized as the Largest Biannual Show from @TradeShowExec, and we couldn’t be prouder of the exhibitors, attendees, community, and staff who make this show what it is. 💚 #TSEGold100

What’s been the biggest drag on productivity this season?

Rural broadband vs. AI data centers. As both buildouts ramp up, fiber splicers, technicians and other trades are getting pulled in two directions. The infrastructure is funded but the workforce is the constraint. #fiber #broadband #telecom

More than 8 million people work in construction across the U.S. Behind that number are the crews building and maintaining the infrastructure we rely on every day. This week, like every week, they deserve the recognition. #constructionappreciationweek #skilledtrades #utilities

When inflow and infiltration keep showing up, digging up the whole street isn’t always the answer. Trenchless rehab can help utilities extend sewer asset life, reduce disruption and keep projects moving—without a full replacement. #WaterUtilities #Wastewater #Trenchless

Electric Sector News: ERCOT recently hit a new power-demand record: 91.1 GW. That's a huge number. But the real story is the people behind it. Every day, crews across Texas are out there doing the work to keep the grid running. What changes are you seeing as demand increases?

A good use for AI isn’t replacing the person doing the work. It’s sending technology into the risky places first. Drones can help spot wildfire concerns and give crews a better look before they head in. Where could drones save your crew more time? ⬇️

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Together with our official partner, @afspnational, we’re reminding the trades to look out for one another—notice when something feels off, check in, and make room for conversations that aren’t always easy. Need support? Call or text 988.

Utilities don’t get the memo about taking the day off. While a lot of people are enjoying the long weekend, plenty of utility crews are still on the clock. To everyone working today, thank you. Happy Labor Day!

You know AI is pushing electricity demand higher. But the boom is reaching natural gas, too. As data centers look for reliable power without waiting years for a grid connection, some are turning to on-site gas generation. #naturalgas #datacenters #utilities

Horsepower is great, but today we're celebrating 🐾puppy power🐾 #NationalDogDay As seen at #TheUtilityExpo2025

Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and take a picture once in a while, you could miss it. 📸 Throwing it back to #TheUtilityExpo2025 for #WorldPhotographyDay
