Power industry spending on federal lobbying declines

Dive Brief:

• Major power companies and trade associations spent less in the first quarter of 2015 on federal lobbying efforts than they did the year before, although the largest players still spend more than $2 million each.
• Southern Co. spent almost $3 million in the first quarter -- the most of any power company -- with Duke Energy and Exelon rounding out the top three donors. 
• The Edison Electric Institute was the biggest spender among the trade groups, spending more than $2 million in lobbying during Q1 2015.
