Our Economic Development Strengths Are Your Advantages
We power success. One of America's first electric utilities, we've been helping businesses find new sites ever since we put down the first stakes of our nation's power grid. That was over a hundred years ago. We even wrote the book on how to do it. How to Find a Plant Site Without Losing Your Mind went to press in the late 1960s, helping give rise to the site selection industry.
We live and work in America's vital heartland, an industrial core that stretches across 11 states and forges the Made In America label on the world's most-loved brands. We know the right people. The right communities. We have the right energy solutions to get things done.
Our energy services come with site selection expertise. Everything we do is confidential and complimentary. That's one reason you want an energy partner on your side. There are many, many more.
