E-SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE

Survey Introduction

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is conducting a study to identify the top priority sustainability issues affecting the electric power utility industry. This is a follow-up to the assessment completed in 2017, the results of which were published in the report, Priority Sustainability Issues for the North American Electric Power Industry: Results of Research with Electric Power Companies and Stakeholders in the United States and Canada (3002011444).

As part of the methodology for this latest study, EPRI would like to capture views and insights from a wide range of relevant stakeholders including government regulators, investors, non-profits and diverse electric power company employees such as EH&S, marketing and legal team leads. The desired seniority level would be an employee holding managerial responsibility for their coverage area such as a senior manager, director or vice-president.

For the purposes of this research:
  • A priority sustainability issue is an environmental, social, and/or economic issue that has the potential to impact long-term value creation for electric power companies and their stakeholders.
  • You should respond to this survey from YOUR perspective in YOUR organization.
  • We are looking to identify and understand priority issues for the electric power industry; this does NOT include the ways these issues are managed (e.g. energy efficiency, electric vehicles, smart meters, etc.).
  • Some items emerged consistently, which influence multiple issues and how they are managed. These items have been termed ‘Issue Management Elements’ and include: Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management.
We anticipate the survey will take 15-20 minutes to complete. Once the survey has closed, the results will be analyzed and the insights detailed in an EPRI report which will be published in Spring 2021. We will reference your firm as a contributor to the research, but your name will be kept confidential and we will not directly attribute any of the insights you share with us to your organization.

EPRI is utilizing Survey Monkey as the platform for this survey. Please see Survey Monkey security policy here.
