Consolidated Energy (CE) is a public utility that generates and distributes electricity throughout the United States. The company is involved in many kinds of projects, including construction of electrical generating and transmission equipment and facilities, upgrade and repair of equipment and facilities, information technology for customer service, and energy research. Much of this project work is contracted out, although about half of it is done by CE itself. The company has construction units and equipment specialists in five regions, information technology specialists in three regions, and research units in two. The research units work on projects initiated by the corporate office, but the construction, equipment upgrade and maintenance, and IT units work on projects initiated by the five regional offices. Each of the units is assigned to one or two regions; any project identified by a regional office is automatically handed to the construction, IT, or equipment unit assigned to that region.
