Advancing Power & Energy in Mississippi.
IEEE Mississippi PES brings together engineers, students, researchers, utilities, and industry partners through technical education, professional development, plant visits, and collaboration.
A technical home for Mississippi’s power and energy community.
The Mississippi PES Chapter supports the exchange of technical knowledge across generation, transmission, distribution, grid modernization, standards, reliability, protection, planning, and emerging energy technologies.
The Mississippi PES Chapter serves power and energy professionals, students, and researchers across the state. Chapter activities have included technical talks, professional-development-hour opportunities, short courses, industry tours, chapter meetings, and collaboration with utilities and universities.
The chapter’s programs reflect a strong commitment to practical engineering education and professional engagement across the Mississippi power community.
