​The electric power industry is leading a profound transformation in the way that energy is generated, delivered, and used. As part of this transformation, EEI’s member companies are investing more than $100 billion each year to build smarter energy infrastructure and to transition to even cleaner generation sources. The industry also is working to build the next-generation energy workforce–one with diverse, highly skilled, and qualified employees capable of delivering on the responsibility to meet customers’ evolving energy needs.

EEI’s Board of Directors have endorsed a new diversity and inclusion (D&I) commitment that builds on D&I programs and work already underway at electric companies across the country. By supporting the EEI commitment, EEI member companies have agreed to develop a 3-year D&I plan, which incorporates initiatives and metrics to improve overall D&I results, and have pledged to take specific actions to advance this important initiative or to confirm that they already have taken these actions.
