Pizarro, president and CEO of Edison International; and many more EEI member company executives will showcase our clean energy leadership through discussions on clean energy deployment, investments, grid resilience, new technologies, and more.

Today, carbon emissions from the U.S. electric power sector are as low as they were nearly 50 years ago, while electricity use has more than doubled since then. Thanks in part to the significant investments that EEI’s member companies have made in clean energy, more than 40 percent of all U.S. power generation comes from clean, carbon-free sources, including nuclear energy, hydropower, wind, and solar energy.
