Berkshire has owned a controlling stake since 1999.[3] The company also controls power distribution companies in the United Kingdom and Canada.[4] The remaining 8% is owned by the family of Walter Scott Jr.[5]

    Greg Abel is chairman; Scott W. Thon is president and CEO. David L. Sokol was CEO until 2008.

    Until 2014, it was known as MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company from its root as MidAmerican Energy Company; it took on the name of its parent to reflect the diversity of its portfolio.[6]

    In 2023, a jury ordered BHE subsidiary PacifiCorp to pay $70 million in punitive damages to 17 homeowners negatively impacted by wildfires that afflicted Oregon in 2020.[7]
