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.
