Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company is made up of individual business platforms that operate autonomously but share a common purpose – to put the customer first. Our vision is to grow through sensible and methodical acquisitions during a period of inevitable consolidation in the energy industry, while continuing to organically grow existing operations. Diversification equates to strength for an international enterprise. MidAmerican's newest venture in natural gas transmission adds to a portfolio that includes production of energy from fuel sources including geothermal, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric, nuclear, wind and biomass. We own the generation assets, the pipes and the wires delivering electricity and natural gas to the approximately 5 million customers we serve worldwide. Our ever-expanding asset base grows not only through acquisitions but also by way of construction and development of several new projects. With the financial backing of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., one of the select few companies boasting a AAA credit rating, MidAmerican has ready access to capital. That allows us to act quickly and seize opportunities to develop or acquire valuable energy assets offering benefits to customers and stable, long-term and cash-producing return to our investors. Our foundation is solid today. On that foundation, we continue to build a company that will be bold and strong tomorrow, one that customers can count on well into the future.
