A Reliable Energy Future
We rely on the electric grid to power our homes, our communities, and our lives, and we’ve come to expect that power to be available at all times.
The U.S. electric grid is rigorously planned, designed, and operated to achieve an average reliability rate of 99.98%, among the highest in the world.
As electricity demand grows and costs rise, solar and energy storage are essential to maintaining reliability and delivering dependable power when American homes and businesses need it.
