Firstenergy Corp

An electric utility holding company based in Akron, Ohio, that delivers power to homes and businesses across six states — Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, and New York — through brands like Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison, and Jersey Central Power & Light. It was born in 1997 when two Ohio power firms, Ohio Edison and Centerior Energy, merged. That merger combined companies whose roots reach back to the late 1800s — Cleveland's Illuminating Company was founded in 1892, making FirstEnergy's family tree older than the automobile.
