FirstEnergy's 2026 Investment Plan Reaches $36 Billion
"In 2025, we reinforced our financial foundation and delivered on the strategies that are moving our company forward," said Brian X. Tierney, FirstEnergy Board Chairman, President and CEO. "We deployed $5.6 billion of system investments to enhance reliability while advancing key regulatory strategies that support long-term customer benefits and our commitments to the investment community. We are proud of our solid execution against our capital plan and solid financial discipline, which resulted in Core Earnings of $2.55 per share. We are entering 2026 with strong momentum and a proven business model that is driving our transformation into a premier electric company with the financial strength and flexibility to deliver value across all stakeholders. Last week our Board approved an increased quarterly dividend that reflects this momentum and our confidence in the company's future. Our updated and extended Energize365 investment program builds on this progress. Our $36 billion investment plan for 2026 to 2030 includes more than $19 billion of total transmission investment. These investments will build a stronger, more resilient grid to minimize outages, prepare for future demand and advance regional, state and national energy priorities."
