“For more than 100 years, America’s investor-owned electric companies have served as the backbone of the nation’s economic and national security,” said EEI President and CEO Drew Maloney. “As our member companies continue to invest in the future, they remain focused on what matters most—keeping electricity reliable and as affordable as possible for the 250 million Americans we proudly serve."

EEI and its member companies are committed to keeping costs as low as possible for customers across the nation and are:

• Investing nearly $208 billion in 2025—and more than $1.1 trillion through 2029—to lower costs and make the energy grid smarter, stronger, more efficient, and more secure. Read more about it in POWER Magazine here.
• Urging Congressional action on comprehensive permitting reform to accelerate infrastructure deployment that will help deliver relief for customers in all 50 states and drive economic growth. Read about it in Politico here.
• Calling for innovative solutions—guided by five principles— to accelerate the pace of change in the PJM Interconnection region to meet demand, improve accountability, and ensure a lower-cost energy supply. Read more about it in Utility Dive here.
• Prioritizing affordability through financial assistance tools to support customers in need and connecting customers with federal and local relief programs.
• Raising awareness of and advocating for continued federal funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which plays a crucial role in helping low-income customers manage their energy bills.

As artificial intelligence technologies, increased industrialization, and the broader electrification of the economy push electricity demand higher, EEI member companies are investing in critical energy infrastructure to power the economy, create good-paying jobs, and deliver new economic opportunities across the country. These investments will be distributed across a larger customer base, driving down costs for American families and businesses while fueling sustained economic growth and prosperity.
