About TED GreenRoom
TED GreenRoom is an advocacy initiative of The Electrical Distributor (TED) Magazine, the official publication of the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED). As the use of alternative power becomes mainstream, electrical distributors are preparing to sell new products that either supply or demand electrical power. From wind to solar to traditional electrical power generation, electrical distributors are poised to provide all markets with the connectivity products necessary to power the construction and maintenance of businesses, plants, and homes. TED Magazine prints a quarterly print edition of TED GreenRoom, publishes a weekly e-newsletter, and updates this site on an ongoing basis.
