Our Energy Future
Because energy is personal
Behind every light switch is a system of people, machines, and ideas working at city scale. This is the story of your energy — where it comes from, who keeps it flowing, and where it's headed.
Four Things Working for You Right Now
Most of what we do is invisible when it works. Here's a peek behind the switch.
Resilience
Networked underground cables reroute power around trouble automatically — most faults never become outages.
Smart Meters
Your meter reports usage securely every day, powering the charts and high-bill alerts in My Account
People on Call
Thousands of field specialists, engineers, and dispatchers cover every hour of every day of the year.
Innovation
Batteries in substations, drones on inspections, and machine learning predicting failures before they happen.
Your Part in It
The grid gets better when you plug in
Small choices — when you run appliances, how you heat and cool, whether you join a program — ripple across the whole system.
- Shift heavy usage off the 2–10 p.m. peak and the whole city breathes easier
- Join demand response and get paid for easing up on the hottest days
- Electrify heating and driving to cut carbon where it counts most
