STRATEGIC PLAN

Inspired by open and ongoing dialogue with diverse stakeholders, FirstEnergy is experiencing a period of growth and renewal. We are embracing pivotal changes within our operations and culture that are energizing our company as we further our transformation into a forward-thinking, premium utility. 

Guided by our core values, we are focused on building a diverse workforce whose business practices are centered on a best-in-class ethics and compliance program. Together, we are cultivating a safe and inclusive company culture where all employees – regardless of role, seniority or tenure – feel empowered and motivated to raise concerns, ask questions and contribute their thoughts and ideas.

Throughout this cultural transformation, FirstEnergy has maintained strong operational and financial performance, leaving us well positioned to capitalize on long-term, sustainable investments designed to serve over 6 million customers' evolving energy needs while growing value for shareholders. Our sustainable investment plan targets 75% formula rate recovery and aligns our annual rate base growth and earnings growth rate with premium utilities, leading to a competitive dividend and investment-grade credit ratings, while focusing on growing cash from operations consistent with earnings.
