FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) is a large-cap U.S. utility headquartered in Akron, Ohio, operating in the generation, distribution, and transmission of electricity. The company runs three reporting segments-Distribution, Integrated, and Stand-Alone Transmission-and maintains an extensive grid of distribution and transmission line miles across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, and New York. Its generation portfolio spans coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, and solar facilities, reflecting a diversified mix of baseload and renewable energy sources.

The company was incorporated in 1996 and has been publicly traded since its 1997 IPO, serving retail and wholesale customers across the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions.
