Allegheny has a long history of innovate approaches to providing rural electric cooperatives with safe, reliable and affordable electricity. Allegheny has achieved this by capitalizing on its strength as a dual organization, combining the power of its owned generation assets and innovative operational initiatives with strategic financial decisions and keen policy insight. Alongside its sister organization, the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association (PREA), Allegheny continues to tackle today’s changing energy environment.

With energy policy at the forefront of the industry’s ongoing challenges, Allegheny works in partnership with PREA in developing strategic approaches to power supply and energy policy issues. In 2023, the organizations established an Energy Transition Task Force to explore opportunities presented by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. Through this task force, PREA/Allegheny proposed another innovative solution to today's energy challenge, securing funding provided by Empowering Rural America (New ERA).

With a grant from the New ERA program, Allegheny will secure carbon-free sources of energy for cooperative consumer-members on the open market, continuing its mission to provide energy at the lowest cost possible to its members while maintaining its commitment to clean energy.
