Utility Industry Masked

Send in your selfie for September's PUF.

These are indeed masked times. Many of us have experimented with different mask looks, some stylish, and some decidedly not.

As part of Public Utilities Fortnightly's "coverage" of utilities and utility regulation, September's issue of PUF shall include a special feature, Utility Industry Masked.

Simply send in your selfie, with you wearing a mask. We hope to show some of you at utilities, utility commissions, other government agencies, associations, vendors and professional firms chipping in to conquer this coronavirus crisis.
