The expansion of this substation is part of an 11 project, $1 billion capital investment, that will support economic growth, increased transmission capacity and bring enhanced reliability to serve existing customers and data centers in the growing northwest suburban business corridor and greater Western O\u2019Hare region of Illinois. The impacted data centers represent nearly 1.9 GW of energy growth in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis project is part of a broader effort by ComEd to ensure northern Illinois has a robust portfolio of energy infrastructure, fully capable of supporting the growth of businesses and meeting the evolving needs of our customers,\u201d said <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.comed.com%2Fabout-us%2Fleadership-values%2Fexecutive-leadership%2Fgil-c-quiniones&amp;esheet=54283268&amp;newsitemid=20250627782560&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Gil+Quiniones&amp;index=1&amp;md5=5aba828eb5021331711a59dbe4e314ba\"><b>Gil Quiniones<\/b><\/a><b>, President and CEO of ComEd<\/b>. \u201cWith best-in-class reliability, the ComEd grid will continue to play a pivotal role in achieving economic development goals for both the region and the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe project is the continuation of more than $1 billion in planned projects by ComEd to enhance its transmission infrastructure in this area over the next few years as it prepares to meet evolving power demands of its customers, including the recent increase in large commercial projects.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cToday\u2019s groundbreaking marks a significant milestone in the expansion of ComEd\u2019s existing substation in our community,\u201d said <b>Elk Grove Village Mayor Craig B. Johnson<\/b>. \u201cIt\u2019s a powerful next step towards strengthening our infrastructure and supporting the ever-growing energy needs of our large power users. This investment ensures we\u2019re not just keeping pace with demand, but hopefully laying the foundation for a stronger, more resilient future. It reflects our commitment to economic development, innovation and to the businesses that choose to call Elk Grove Village home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nComEd began construction on the existing Elk Grove transmission substation in 2019 to help ensure transmission capacity for the area, which has seen strong growth in recent years tied to data centers and other high density load projects. Access to power is increasingly important for customers in their decision on where to locate their operations. ComEd is focused on investments needed to serve evolving demand for power, all while upholding its <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.comed.com%2Fnews%2Fnews-releases-2024-11-14&amp;esheet=54283268&amp;newsitemid=20250627782560&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=industry+leading+reliability+and+resiliency&amp;index=2&amp;md5=8aa919781f5f3274b0229ed603251e48\">industry leading reliability and resiliency<\/a>. In 2024, ComEd secured approval on a multiyear grid plan that will support continued advancements in critical power delivery infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cInfrastructure is one of Chicagoland\u2019s greatest competitive advantages\u2014and today\u2019s announcement by ComEd is a powerful example of how forward-looking investment supports forward-moving growth,\u201d said<b> Kyle Schulz, Chief Growth Officer, World Business Chicago<\/b>. \u201cFrom data centers to advanced manufacturing, companies choose the Chicagoland region because of its unmatched access to power, talent, and connectivity. This investment doesn\u2019t just strengthen the grid\u2014it reinforces the region\u2019s position as a national leader in innovation, resilience, and economic opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nEngineering and design for this $155 million project began in 2024 and construction is currently underway. The construction is being completed by a diverse, local firm, Ruiz Construction Systems.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe expansion of this facility underscores ComEd\u2019s enduring commitment to strengthening northern Illinois\u2019 energy infrastructure. Ruiz Construction Systems was proud to support the successful construction of this substation in 2019, and we are honored one again to contribute to the growth and advancement of this critical asset,\u201d said <b>Brayant Ruiz, VP of Administration at Ruiz Construction Systems.<\/b> \u201cThis development reflects the region\u2019s continued growth and ComEd\u2019s dedication to meeting the evolving energy needs of the communities it serves. Each project reinforces a culture of innovation and forward progress. For nearly two decades, Ruiz has been privileged to support ComEd\u2019s mission to build, enhance and adapt the region\u2019s energy systems. We remain committed to these efforts, to our partnership with ComEd and to advancing electrical innovation across Illinois.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAt the conclusion of this upgrade, the expanded substation will have new gas insulated switchgear (GIS) equipment and 345-138kW transformers to support the necessary expansion and grid hardening of the bulk transmission electrical system for the region. This upgrade to more compact and efficient equipment will boost the capacity of the substation while minimizing land expansion. Construction surrounding this specific expansion is now underway, and the project is expected to be completed by December 2026, enabling the successful growth of future projects in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\nComEd\u2019s investments in modernizing the grid have led to record-breaking advancements in reliability and are helping bring more businesses to the region every year. Last year alone, ComEd helped bring 15 new commercial projects to northern Illinois, with these facilities set to add nearly 1,400 jobs and more than $17 billion in local capital investment from those new businesses.<\/p>\n<p><i>ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 200 company and one of the nation\u2019s largest utility companies, serving more than 10.7 million electricity and natural gas customers.
