Berkshire commits $75B to energy infrastructure through 2027

Berkshire Hathaway Energy will spend over $75 billion through 2027, with $27 billion going to power transmission lines across the Western U.S. and Canada. Transmission infrastructure earns stable, predictable returns regardless of energy prices—utilities recover costs through regulated rate bases. The company had already spent $8.7 billion on this effort by year-end 2024, positioning it among North America's largest infrastructure investors.
