ComEd Highlights 2024 Efforts to Advance the Clean Energy Transition in Northern Illinois - Seite 2

• ComEd’s award-winning Energy Efficiency Program, one of the largest in the nation, reached a new milestone when it surpassed the $10 billion mark in total customer bill savings. The program helps reduce energy consumption and costs and has saved over 89 million megawatt-hours of electricity since its launch in 2008, enough to power more than 10 million ComEd customers’ homes for one year and avoid nearly 66 billion pounds of carbon emissions that contribute to climate change.
• The electric service total bill rate per kWh of an average ComEd residential customer was 22% below the average residential rate of the top 10 U.S. metropolitan areas, according to the EEI Annual Report.
• In 2024, ComEd customers had access to 96 percent clean power on an hourly basis – thanks to a large amount of nuclear generation in the region making our grid one of the cleanest in the nation – and with plans to reach 100 percent thanks to CEJA.
• ComEd launched a variety of new clean energy programs to help customers lower costs as they go green – including launching nearly $90 million in customer rebates for the purchase of fleet EVs and the buildout of EV charging infrastructure; and creating a new Go Electric website to empower customers seeking to transition to more efficient heating and cooling systems with information on heat pumps and company rebates offered.

Supporting customers and communities in need

• ComEd achieved an overall J.D. Power ranking of 2 (out of 15) in the Midwest for the second consecutive year, an improvement from 8 in 2022.
• To reduce the burden for those facing economic hardship, ComEd last year connected more than 229,000 customers to over $133 million in financial assistance and other support options, which is the most support ComEd has provided since the pandemic.
• In 2024, ComEd held nearly a half dozen Powering Lives Resource Fairs, providing 1,600 families in underserved neighborhoods with education and tailored support services including bill-assistance options, workforce development opportunities, family care programs, and health screenings. More than three-quarters of those families were successfully connected to financial assistance and other support options.
• ComEd provided over $630,000 in grant funding to 90 organizations and municipalities through its Green Region, Powering Safe Communities, Powering the Arts, and Powering the Holidays competitive grant programs.
• ComEd employees logged over 26,000 volunteer hours and contributed over $1.8 million to more than 1,200 community-based causes.
• ComEd was named a 2024 Customer Champion by Cogent, a division of Escalent, a key market research firm.
