Overview

About IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Technical Activities Committees

The IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Technical Activities Committees (TAC) are at the forefront of advancing the electric power industry. Each committee focuses on a specialized area within power and energy systems, supporting innovation, research, and standardization.

Through their Subcommittees and Coordinating Committees, the TACs lead the development and maintenance of key technical documentation – including Technical Reports, White Papers, and other essential resources. Collectively, they contribute to nearly 50% of all IEEE Standards produced annually, making them critical to global power engineering progress.
