In accordance with General Order 156, Integ Enterprise Consulting has successfully been certified as a Minority Owned Business. Integ will now be recognized by the Joint Utilities as a Minority Owned Business (MBE) and be considered accordingly for procurements by public utilities participating in the Utility Supplier Diversity Program. In May 1988, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued General Order 156 (GO 156). Under GO 156, the CPUC required all investor-owned electric, gas, water and telecommunication utility companies with gross annual revenues in excess of $25 million and their regulated subsidiaries and affiliates, to develop and implement programs to increase the utilization of WMBES. Procurement goals of 5% for women and 15% for minorities were initially established, and later expanded to include a goal of 1.5% for service-disabled veterans.
