INTERVIEW KEVIN SLIGH SR., DIRECTOR, BSEE “I’ve challenged my team to say, ‘Hey, we need to really get our arms wrapped around these safety standards.’ We don’t need one company like Equinor or Ørsted or Dominion working on their own. We need to have consensus- based safety standards that will then be incorporated by reference back into our new 285 Reg that we anticipate we’ll be putting out a notice of proposed rulemaking by the end of the year.”
