 When a utility decides to design and launch an outage notifications program for customers, there is no shortage of questions to consider. Should this be an opt-in or opt-out program? Exactly how should we communicate estimated times of restoration? In this webinar, learn how Portland General Electric answered these questions and others as the company designed and built its own outage text notifications program.
