The focus in the last few years has been reducing costs because that is how the compensation is structured for shareholders and upper management, even though the billionaire at the top don't need it since he is old and can’t even spend all that he currently has. This translates into staff pay that is not competitive, hiring freeze, more work for everyone else. The customers will suffer when there is not enough people to fix their power after a storm. It will also take longer to add electricity to support a growing city.
