WASHINGTON (November 06, 2024) - Edison Electric Institute (EEI) interim President and CEO Pat Vincent-Collawn today issued the following statement on the 2024 presidential election results.
"EEI and our member companies-America's investor-owned electric companies-congratulate Donald Trump and JD Vance on their election as President and Vice President of the United States. We also congratulate the incoming members of the 119th Congress and the winners of the many state and local elections that took place across the country.
"Our nation's economy is powered by reliable, affordable, and resilient clean energy. This is an exciting time for electric companies and our industry, as customer demand for electricity is growing at the fastest pace in decades, and we look forward to working with the Trump administration, Congress, and state policymakers and regulators to meet this demand safely, reliably, and affordably. Through continued investments in grid resilience, innovation, and our workforce, we will deliver the future of energy together."
