We believe our Connect21 vision advances natural gas and electricity infrastructure beyond its 20 th century limitations to create a more customer-centric, resilient, agile, efficient and environmentally-sound energy network. By embracing policy and technological innovation, this initiative will drive improved energy productivity, create jobs and strengthen local economies. That's worth working for, and we stand ready to roll up our sleeves. Please join us. Connect21: An energy blueprint for the next generation. Connect21 is a framework that links customer needs and policy goals with technology solutions through three broad approaches: Putting customers in charge: Giving customers the right tools and information to take better control of their energy consumption. Changing regulation for utilities: It's time to work with our regulators to come up with a new paradigm for how we regulate this industry. Innovation and technology: A collaborative effort is needed between utilities, regulators, partners and stakeholders that incents utilities to embrace innovation.
