IURPA Inc Information

IURPA produces a newsletter that is sent to all members of the international and regional groups. A master mailing list is managed to insure that a maximum number of utilities are reached. The newsletter provides information on current events, news developing around effective revenue protection activities, upcoming regional conferences, and advertisements from vendors who have products available to address the issues of the protection and recovery of utility revenues. In 1995, IURPA embarked on an ambitious undertaking to collect data from utilities around the world regarding their revenue protection programs. A benchmark survey has been published for the participating utilities to use in measuring the effectiveness of their programs with others. The survey contains data from some of the top one hundred fifteen utilities in the world. IURPA is committed to providing these sources of detail that will strengthen the revenue protection programs. The utility industry has become very dynamic. The issue of competition among utilities around the world is a reality. Utilities that were once closely regulated or controlled by the government are now becoming deregulated and privately owned. The added value of protecting against the loss of diminishing profits from unauthorized use of the utility's service is becoming a higher priority. The ability to accomplish this objective with the highest efficiency and cost effectiveness is our goal. IURPA represents a vast resource of remarkable people with valuable information. We congratulate our members and vendors for making IURPA the success it has become and welcome our new members and vendors to participate in the growth and prosperity of the International Utilities Revenue Protection Association.
