World leaders convened in Glasgow, Scotland, from October 31 – November 12, 2021 for the UN Climate Change Conference, or COP26, six years after the Paris Agreement established a global framework to tackle climate change. EEI member company executives joined the U.S. delegation and environmental leaders to highlight the leadership of U.S. electric companies in reducing carbon emissions and the vital role that reliable, affordable, secure, and resilient clean energy plays in achieving net-zero emissions across the U.S. economy.

The track record of America’s electric companies over the past decade, together with our trajectory of continuing emissions reductions, shows that we are truly committed to getting the energy we provide as clean as we can as fast as we can, without compromising on the reliability and affordability that are essential to the customers and communities we serve. We are proud to be leading the way in deploying renewables and other clean energy technologies, in supporting the development of new, affordable, 24/7 carbon-free technologies, and in investing in the infrastructure needed to electrify the transportation sector.
