FirstEnergy and Subsidiaries Join the Electric Highway Coalition, When Will Warren Begin Seeing Upgrades?
Here in Warren, Ohio, we’re going to see a lot more changes taken place than we’ve seen in years. There will be more jobs, better infrastructure — the roads will be less vulnerable — and it’s all thanks to an electrified future.
The Edison Electric Institute estimates 18 million electric vehicles (EVs) will be on U.S. roads by 2030. Ohio is playing a significant hand in bringing those numbers to fruition. With everything from cars to batteries to technological parts — Ohio’s changing the game through its contributions towards a more electric and sustainable future.
With an industry poised on bringing a halt to excess emissions and eliminating the carbon footprint, entirely, it’s no surprise that FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) would eventually join the Electric Highway Coalition.
It’s important to note that Ohio-Edison is a subsidiary of FirstEnergy, which serves our area. Ohio-Edison serves more than 1 million customers in northeast and north-central Ohio, including Warren, Niles, Lordstown and the rest of the Trumbull-Mahoning County Area.
