These utilities serve more than 750,000 customers and represent about 60 percent of our total assets. The earnings from our utilities provide a stable cash flow within our overall revenue mix. Our dedication to exceptional customer service and value is evident by the high approval ratings from our customers.

We are committed to improving life with energy. For more than 125 years, our primary mission has remained the same: to deliver quality service and safe, reliable energy to our customers. We also serve our customers through participation and volunteerism in several civic and charitable causes. We’ve established several partnerships with community organizations, businesses and customers to create better lives for the communities and customers we serve. We believe the relationships that we’ve created over the years also create long-term rewards for our shareholders. Quite simply, we believe satisfied customers are the key to a successful future.
