Sorry, Clark Griswold, but your lighting display would have been impossible in 1989, when National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation came out in theaters. But as I told The New York Times, the holiday classic illustrates how technology such as #LED lighting have helped ComEd and other utilities improve #EnergyEfficiency and cut costs for our customers.

Check out Our Lady of Grace School Chicago, who visited our Chicago North office to spread some holiday cheer! Thank you for bringing your holiday magic and brightening the Big Shoulders Fund Board of Directors' year-end meeting.

You can’t keep these elves on the shelf! Our #ComEdVolunteers brought holiday cheer to La Rabida Children's Hospital, delivering toys to children and their siblings during outpatient visits. Our Graduate Association for Development and Success (GrADS) members and Valerie Colletti, our SVP of distribution operations and GrADS executive sponsor, helped stock toys, wrapped gifts, and hosted arts and crafts activities to spread the festive spirit!

The holiday season is about spreading love and kindness, and that includes acknowledging our fallen heroes. #ComEdVolunteers from Exelon Military Actively Connected (E-MAC) proudly supported National Wreaths Across America Day on December 14 by placing wreaths at veteran gravesites. Thank you for supporting this national event and honoring the memory of those who served in our armed forces.

I was in Belvidere, Illinois, today to celebrate the 160th #CommunitySolar project in ComEd’s service territory. The developer of this project, Ameresco, has built it on the site of an old landfill, and the power it generates will support Boone County, Illinois Government buildings and facilities, and a number of small to mid-size businesses in Belvidere. When we invest in renewable energy, sustainable land use and economic development, we give every community a stake in the success of the #CleanEnergy transformation. My thanks to Doug Scott, Chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission and Karl Johnson, Boone County Board Chairman, for joining me today.

I spent this morning with Illinois Commerce Commission Chairman Doug Scott and Michael Dunn of Regional 1 Planning Council (Illinois) at the Prairie Street Brewing Co. in the City of Rockford Illinois where we celebrated the commissioning of a rooftop #solar plus grid-connected battery #energystorage system installation. This pilot project co-funded by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and by ComEd will explore the benefits of distributed energy management systems (#DERMS) to support the integration of rooftop solar to grid-connected battery storage systems. Thank you very much to the Koch family who owns and operates the amazing https://psbrewingco.com.

Today I met a diverse group of workers and small businesses enrolled in ComEd’s Market Development Initiative(MDI). The program helps them gain skills to advance their companies and careers in #energyefficiency and the fast-growing #cleanenergy marketplace. It’s just one of the ways we’re expanding our pipeline of diverse suppliers to help serve customers across the region. Great to see Joshua Davis from The Will Group and staff from Walker-Miller Energy Services, our two key partners in administering and executing this program. And special thanks to my ComEd colleagues Mark Baranek, Max Leichtman and Laticia Dezell Holbert for lending their expertise and support. #workforcedevelopment #cleanenergyjobs

ComEd does more than deliver power. We strive to be a force for good in communities, and that was on vivid display this week as we celebrated 90 grant recipients from ComEd’s Powering Communities Grant Programs. Over $650,000 went toward organizations and municipalities dedicated to environmental and land conservation, transportation electrification, public safety and the arts - including dance, music, theater and holiday lights. It’s a way to recognize and support the people who make our communities vibrant. Thanks to Openlands, Metropolitan Mayors Caucus and the League of Chicago Theatres for partnering with us — and to Brookfield Zoo Chicago for hosting.
