Established in 1988, EEI’s National Key Accounts program is a customer-focused initiative in which electric company account representatives engage and collaborate with their multi-site commercial and industrial customers to develop solutions that support their unique corporate energy goals. The program offers tools and resources for customers to learn about the current energy marketplace, including through workshops, communication outreach, and opportunities to share best practices with peers.
