Our goal is bigger than keeping the lights on. We want our communities to thrive, so we give a lot more than safe and reliable
power.
We’re continually investing resources to ensure our
infrastructure meets the region’s future electrical demands.
Whether we’re starting initiatives that enhance quality of life
or contribute to the region’s economic growth, our goal is the
same — to build strong and vibrant communities where we all can
be successful.
In 2019, the company donated more than $1.3 million to organizations across Allegheny and Beaver counties.
