FirstEnergy provides power, natural gas and services to parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Headquartered in Akron, Ohio, it serves 4.4 million customers.

FirstEnergy purchased Centerior Energy (formerly Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co.) in 1997.

FirstEnergy operates the Davis-Besse and Perry nuclear power plants.

A string of coincidental accidents and mistakes at FirstEnergy are thought to have caused the 2003 North America blackout.

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission voted on January 16, 2004 to investigate Metropolitan Edison, Pennsylvania Electric and Pennsylvania Power, all owned by FirstEnergy, because their service reliability "may have fallen below established standards."
