EEI and our member companies are proud to provide America’s resilient clean energy and to be leading the transformation of energy. Across the nation, we are working every day to get the energy we provide as clean as we can as fast as we can, while maintaining the reliability and affordability that our customers value.
For our industry, the path forward is clear—and the path forward is clean. Thanks largely to the leadership of EEI’s member companies, carbon emissions from the U.S. electric power sector are nearly 40 percent below 2005 levels. At the same time, 40 percent of our nation’s electricity now comes from clean, carbon-free sources, including nuclear energy, hydropower, wind, and solar energy.
In addition, dozens of EEI member companies have announced ambitious long-term carbon-reduction targets, including net-zero targets, showing the path forward. We are leading the world in reducing carbon emissions and are well-positioned to play a major role in the climate change solution.
This week, we are celebrating Earth Week – and Earth Day on April 22. To learn more about our industry’s clean energy vision:
