ComEd Files Four-Year Grid Plan to Sustain Reliability, Maintain Affordability and Adapt to Rising Energy Demands<\/b><\/p>\n

Plan aligns with State\u2019s clean energy and economic goals; ICC to review through 2026<\/i><\/p>\n

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nComEd today presented to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) its second multi-year grid plan (MYGP) containing ComEd\u2019s plans for critical investments to the grid in years 2028-2031. The plan builds upon the energy company\u2019s previous plan to strengthen the grid to continue delivering safe and affordable electric service and nation-leading reliability<\/a> for ComEd\u2019s customers amid the challenges of increasingly extreme weather and rising energy demands.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cA reliable, affordable and modern power grid is the foundation of economic growth and quality of life in northern Illinois,\u201d said ComEd President and CEO Gil Quiniones<\/a>. \u201cComEd\u2019s new grid plan makes critical investments to ensure the grid continues to deliver reliable energy, affordable rates for customers and advances the state’s clean energy and economic development priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nComEd\u2019s plan was developed with stakeholder, customer and Commission feedback and is aligned with the state\u2019s clean energy and economic development growth goals reflected in the Illinois Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) and the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA). The plan is designed to expand clean energy technology and access to renewables to create an equitable clean energy future. The ComEd MYGP includes targeted investments to support the region\u2019s rising business energy needs driven by continued economic expansion across a variety of sectors. Last year alone, nine new major commercial projects committed to the ComEd region, representing more than $13 billion in planned investment and an estimated 2,200 new jobs.<\/p>\n

\nFoundational to this plan is ComEd\u2019s Long-Range Strategy (LRS)<\/a>. The LRS drives ComEd\u2019s plan for the next decade of growth, including the rise of large load projects, growing electrification, and increasingly severe weather. By strengthening grid resilience and building flexible capacity now, ComEd seeks to protect customers from the strain of emerging technologies and rising energy demand while reducing long-term costs.<\/p>\n

Features of ComEd MYGP for 2028-2031<\/b><\/p>\n

\nBased on Commission and stakeholder engagement, as well as shifts shaping ComEd\u2019s energy system, the 2028-2031 MYGP builds on the priorities and investments from the 2024-2027 Grid Plan with new cost-effective investments that address today\u2019s challenges and emerging opportunities.<\/p>\n
