Energy Delivery Group

EEI's Energy Delivery Group (EDG) is responsible for all business, regulatory, operational, and public policy matters related to the delivery of electric power, including transmission-related matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).  See our FERC activities.

In addition to policy support, the EDG is actively engaged in the technical, operations, and security issues our members are addressing.  We provide members the opportunity to have dialogues and influence the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, EPRI, NERC, Standard Setting Bodies, other utilities, vendors, and manufacturers.  See our operational activities.
