description When EEI was founded in 1933, the average electricity customer purchased about 600 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. Large stretches of rural countryside were not electrified at all. Regulation of the industry was a new idea. A major order of business in EEI's first months was the construction of a display for the 1933 World's Fair, including "an electric furnace with a magnetic brain that controls temperature" and "blackboard lighting for the preservation of child eyesight." EEI set forth a vision to be the best trade association -- committed to knowing our members and their needs and to providing leadership that consistently meets or exceeds expectations. Our 85th anniversary is an opportunity to reflect not just on our mission, but on the achievements of our member companies in delivering America's energy future.
