Description: FE FirstEnergy December 17, 2025
FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) is a regulated electric utility that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity across six states-Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, and New York. The firm operates three business segments (Distribution, Integrated, and Stand-Alone Transmission) and owns a diversified generation fleet that includes coal, nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar assets, as well as 252,244 distribution miles and 24,143 transmission miles of overhead and underground lines.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 reported revenue of roughly $9.8 billion and a regulated return on equity (ROE) of about 9 %, reflecting the typical utility earnings profile. The company’s earnings are highly sensitive to state-level rate cases and federal policy on carbon emissions, with the ongoing transition to renewable energy and FERC Order 2222 creating both head-room for new clean-energy contracts and potential compliance costs. Capital-intensive infrastructure upgrades-estimated at $1.2 billion over the next five years-are a primary driver of cash-flow needs and credit quality.
