Governance in our business means holding ourselves to the highest standards of safety, compliance, regulatory integrity and financial management – so that you can continue to depend on our reliable service for decades to come.

 

Every time you flip a switch or turn on a burner, the lights come on and gas flows. We know you rely on our services, which is why we work hard to create balanced outcomes for our customers.

 

Safety and reliability are critical to governing the intricate network of pipes and wires that deliver energy to your home or business. Through efforts like our STAR projects and the daily human performance habits that our employees utilize, accountability and commitment are at the core of our safety culture. But, safety isn't just the work we do outside your door. To protect our systems, networks and facilities, we are constantly monitoring and improving cyber and physical security measures. We also work closely with regional partners and regulatory bodies to maintain and improve the resiliency of our grid infrastructure. 

 

 

We consult with customers, regulators, legislators and other stakeholders to help protect the energy and economic needs of our customers. That's how we keep our energy services affordable, with electric rates 42% below the national average.

 

Transparency and accuracy in our emissions and financial reporting meets the highest standards. We have the utmost respect for our customers and our investors, and strive to provide the information necessary for all of us to succeed.
