Congratulations to my friend and colleague Maria Pope as she takes on this important and well-earned role representing and advocating for the energy industry. Many of us came together a few weeks ago at the annual Edison Electric Institute conference to celebrate Maria's new role and strategize around learnings, challenges, and shared goals. The future of our industry is bright — especially when we work together — and I'm excited to see what comes next under Maria's leadership.
I am honored to begin my tenure as Chair of the Edison Electric Institute and am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our industry in this capacity. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Pedro Pizarro for his exceptional leadership over the past year. As we look to the future, I am excited about the opportunities ahead for the electric utility industry. Together, we will continue to innovate, collaborate, and drive forward initiatives that ensure a reliable, affordable, and clean energy future for all. I look forward to working with the talented team at EEI, our member companies, regulators, policymakers, communities across the nation and leaders like Hewlett Packard Enterprise President and CEO Antonio Neri [📸 EEI closing keynote]. EEI has accomplished much, and we have a lot to do in the year ahead.
Maria Pope - congratulations!
