But now that we are fully into 2023, we are laser-focused on where we are headed. We are committed to advancing a low-carbon energy future that benefits ALL of our customers. ComEd 2030 is our new vision for how we are making investments in our infrastructure and customer programs to advance critical policy goals, including the goals of the landmark Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which aims to decarbonize the state’s power sector by 2045.
Most importantly, we are committed to making sure the benefits of the digital and decarbonized energy future flow equitably to communities with the greatest need. Because we are a company that serves everyone, we have a very special focus on community well-being, justice and opportunity for all.
We have plans to ensure that the electric grid remains reliable and resilient for families and businesses in northern Illinois as climate change results in more severe weather events. We’ve proposed necessary investments to deliver the resilient 24/7 power our customers depend on, prepare the grid for new fleets of electric vehicles and electrification, integrate more solar panels, wind power and battery storage, and equitably advance a decarbonized energy future.
In addition to supporting the goals of CEJA, our plans will create good-paying local jobs and drive investment to help ensure all communities – especially those that are under-resourced – benefit from the clean energy transition.
It will take all 6,300 of us at ComEd to make this vision a reality, and we are all up for the job! We hope you will support us and follow our progress on ComEd.com/ComEd2030. I also invite you to ask us questions and participate in the conversation by following us @ComEd on all social media handles and my Twitter handle @GQEnergy.
