Washington, D.C. (July 28, 2021) — Edison Electric Institute (EEI) President Tom Kuhn today issued the following statement on EEI's continued support for advancing the bipartisan infrastructure framework:

"EEI and our member companies – America's investor-owned electric companies – share the commitment of Congress and President Biden to build and enhance our nation’s infrastructure, and we commend the bipartisan group of Senators and the Biden administration for their tireless efforts to reach an agreement on the bipartisan infrastructure framework. The continued focus on creating jobs and encouraging investment in clean energy technologies, the energy grid, electric vehicle charging, and middle-mile broadband is a win for customers and communities all across the nation.

“EEI’s member companies are working 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. We will continue to work with the Biden administration, and with policymakers on both sides of the political aisle in Congress, to advance the policies needed to benefit customers, to support infrastructure development, and to accelerate the clean energy transformation that is underway.”
