ComEd Energy Efficiency Program Receives National Recognition From Energy Coalition<\/b><\/p>\n

Alliance to Save Energy presents ComEd with Stars of Energy Efficiency Award for efforts that help low-income customers achieve nearly $63 million in lifetime bill savings<\/i><\/p>\n

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nComEd\u2019s Energy Efficiency Program won the Stars of Energy Efficiency award in the Power & Utilities category from the Alliance to Save Energy (ASE). The award highlights ComEd\u2019s efforts to lower energy costs for customers facing high energy burdens. ASE announced the recognition at its 33rd annual gala May 6 in Washington, DC, where five finalists competed in the Power & Utilities category.<\/p>\n

\nLast year, the ComEd EE Program \u2013 which offers a variety ofservices and incentives to help customers manage energy use, lower costs and protect the environment \u2013 achieved its most impactful year to date. It offered energy efficiency solutions to low-income customers and communities focused on environmental justice throughout northern Illinois \u2013 showing that an equity-driven utility portfolio can significantly enhance affordability and deliver widespread energy savings.<\/p>\n

\nIn 2025, ComEd delivered $95 million in incentives to income-eligible customers \u2013 about one-third of total incentives for that year. Incentives help defray the costs of energy-efficiency improvements. These efforts resulted in an estimated $62.9 million in lifetime bill savings for participating households by lowering energy use, improving heating and cooling performance, and replacing inefficient appliances. Some programs offer no-cost delivery, which eliminates upfront expenses to help customers further reduce monthly bills.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are grateful to be recognized by an organization that is a leading international authority on energy efficiency,\u201d said Gil<\/b>Quiniones<\/b><\/a>, President & CEO at ComEd.<\/b> \u201cComEd boasts one of the nation\u2019s largest EE programs, and for years we have been helping customers reduce consumption and costs. Since we launched the EE program in 2008, we saved customers enough electricity to power 12 million ComEd homes for one year, while taking over $13 billion off our customers\u2019 bills and avoiding 77 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThese environmental savings are the equivalent of planting 38 million acres of trees or removing nearly 9 million cars from the road for one year.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere has never been a more important time to embrace energy efficiency,\u201d Alliance president <\/b>Paula Glover<\/b><\/a>said. \u201cWith the United States set to shatter records for electricity demand this and next year, and energy being increasingly unaffordable for millions of Americans, it\u2019s time to get serious about saving energy and embrace efficiency as the fastest, lowest cost way to address what is now an energy crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nASE\u2019s award is the latest recognition for the ComEd EE Program. In 2024, ComEd received the ENERGY STAR\u00ae<\/sup> Partner of the Year\u2014Sustained Excellence Award<\/a>, the highest honor from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for the 12th year in a row. This award is given to select organizations chosen from thousands of ENERGY STAR partners, honoring those whose programs show measurable energy savings and help mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n

Company Efforts to Maintain Lowest Possible Energy Bills<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe ComEd Energy Efficiency Program is one of several options that the energy company offers to help address rising energy supply costs \u2013 driven by increasingly extreme temperatures and supply-demand imbalances which account for nearly half of customers’ energy bills \u2013 that continue to impact families and businesses. ComEd does not set supply prices, which are passed on without profit to ComEd.<\/p>\n

\nComEd\u2019s energy efficiency programs reflect the energy company\u2019s dedication to The Exelon Promise<\/a>. This customer-focused strategy from parent company Exelon aims to provide quick relief, strong protections and lasting solutions to rising energy costs. This includes:<\/p>\n
