ABOUT THE EDA

Who we are

The Electricity Distributors Association (EDA) represents local hydro utilities, the part of our electricity system that is closest to customers. Local hydro utilities are on the front lines of power, and we know that the most important conversations about energy happen around the kitchen table, not the boardroom table. Our customers understand the power of local hydro, and they value the relationship of trust they have built with their local hydro utilities, relying on us to deliver safer, more reliable, and more affordable electricity.

EDA Mission

The EDA exists to provide local hydro utilities, otherwise known as local distribution companies (LDC), with the valued industry knowledge, networking opportunities and collective action vital to the business success of each member.
