Four-year plan invests approximately $1.7
billion in customer energy efficiency
ComEd yesterday submitted to the Illinois Commerce Commission
(ICC), which regulates the state’s utilities, a four-year, $1.7
billion plan to expand programs that help business, residential and
public sector customers reduce energy use and save money. The plan
incorporates feedback from local stakeholders and updates the
energy efficiency plan the ICC approved in 2021 to reflect changes
enabled by the state’s new clean energy law, which expands these
programs, and allows energy efficiency goals to be partially met by
electrification initiatives.
“ComEd fully supports the clean energy law’s focus on further
expanding our work to help low-income customers save energy and
lower their bills,” said Erica Borggren, vice president of customer
solutions at ComEd. “We’re proud to propose, for the first time, to
gradually incorporate electrification into our energy efficiency
offerings to customers, with a focus on those who need these
savings and health benefits the most.”
ComEd’s 2022-2025 energy efficiency plan is designed to help
customers save energy and money, with a particular focus on
programs and savings for customers and communities in need.
Specifically, ComEd’s plan:
- Dedicates more than $113 million per year to income-eligible
programs – nearly three times the required $40 million per year.
- This funding will be spent on single-family and multifamily
upgrades and affordable housing new construction, in addition to
other programs for income-eligible customers.
- Targets $10 million per year to support income-eligible
electrification measures – for example, heating and cooling, water
heating and appliances – that will save customers money and improve
their quality of life.
- Expands business and public sector programs to accommodate
large public customers and private customers that do not opt
out.
“Our goal is to see continual growth in energy efficiency
investments, as these investments save individual customers energy
and money but also provide important societal, environmental and
health benefits to entire communities,” said Stacey Paradis,
Executive Director of the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance.
“We’ve been impressed with ComEd’s leadership having grown their
energy efficiency program from its start in 2008 to their plans
today to make what is the single largest energy efficiency
investment in the Midwest. We are excited to see their focus on
affordability and bringing energy efficiency programs and benefits
to the people that most need it. We commend them on their
industry-leading work and look forward to the continued growth of
the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program.”
The ComEd Energy Efficiency Program is one of the largest
programs in the nation, offering residents, businesses and public
sector customers a variety of options that help them cut back on
their energy use, which reduces energy bills and helps the
environment. Since ComEd introduced its energy efficiency programs
in 2008, customers have saved more than $6 billion on their energy
bills.
