Integ Enterprise Consulting, Inc. facilitates the ease of transition in First Energy/Allegheny merger

First Energy and Allegheny finalized their decision for a merger in February, 2011.Following completion of the merger, the combined company would retain the FirstEnergy name and be headquartered in Akron, Ohio. Paul J. Evanson, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Allegheny, said, “The combined company will have substantial upside potential with increased scale and a more diverse generation fleet. We plan on working closely with FirstEnergy to integrate the businesses while maintaining both companies’ long-standing focus on reliability, customer service, quality and safety.”
