Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance’s annual
Inspiring Efficiency Awards recognize groundbreaking efforts to
expand energy efficiency to customers and businesses in need
The Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) announced ComEd is
being honored with dual Inspiring Efficiency Awards. The awards
recognize innovative programs that help income-eligible customers
and businesses in low-income communities across northern Illinois
take advantage of energy-efficiency and electrification offerings
that can help them manage energy bills and support the
environment.
MEEA named ComEd a recipient of its Innovation Award for the
energy company’s cross-function collaborations with new and
existing industry organizations to launch a number of
electrification offerings for a wide range of customers and
businesses, including a new comprehensive home electrification
offering for income-eligible customers. MEEA also recognized ComEd
with an Impact Award for investing over $13 million in health and
safety improvements, without which income-eligible residential
customers could not take advantage of energy-efficiency offerings,
thereby saving them money and energy. The recognition from MEEA
builds on ComEd’s reputation for delivering award-winning
energy-efficiency programs that have saved customers a total of
more than $8 billion on energy bills since launching in 2008.
“ComEd is proud to be recognized for its part in expanding the
benefits of energy-efficient technology across northern Illinois,”
said Erica Borggren, ComEd’s vice president of customer
solutions. “We are committed to providing equitable access to
programs that can reduce energy use in ways that can help the
environment, while reducing the energy burden for those who need it
most.”
The awards were announced ahead of MEEA’s 20th annual Inspiring
Efficiency Awards, which recognize individuals and businesses that
exhibit exemplary leadership in advancing energy efficiency across
the Midwest. Winners will be presented with awards during MEEA’s
Midwest Energy Solutions Conference, Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, in
Chicago.
“The Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance is proud to recognize
ComEd for their ongoing commitment to delivering meaningful energy
efficiency solutions to communities with the greatest need,” said
MEEA Executive Director Paige Knutsen. “These
awards recognize the significant impact made by awardees like ComEd
and provide inspiration for others to follow suit.”
Innovation Award: ComEd’s Low-Income Electrification
Offering
MEEA’s Inspiring Efficiency Innovation Award was presented to
ComEd for developing and enhancing its portfolio of
energy-efficiency electrification (EEE) offerings, which includes
the launch of a new, comprehensive offering designed to help
income-eligible customers save money and reduce energy use, while
stimulating regional market adoption of key electrification
technologies.
According to Illinois law, electrification measures include
high-efficiency, electric alternatives to traditional fossil
fuel-powered building and industrial end uses such as space
heating, water heating, clothes drying, cooking and industrial
processes.
In 2023, this income-eligible offering, called the Whole Home
Electric program, completed 99 single-family home electrification
projects with projected annual energy savings of 26,000
kilowatt-hours per project, as well as another 163 units across
four multi-family buildings with total projected energy savings of
about 5.1 gigawatt-hours. In 2023, ComEd also introduced or
enhanced incentives for a range of other electrification measures,
including construction of high-efficiency, all-electric new
buildings, the installation of residential electric heat pumps and
the purchase of commercial electric forklifts.
Impact Award: ComEd’s Investment in Income-Eligible
Health & Safety Improvements
MEEA’s Inspiring Efficiency Impact Award recognizes ComEd’s
four-year commitment, started in 2022, to support upgrades that not
only allow income-eligible customers to participate in
energy-efficiency programs, but also prevent potential risk of harm
to a person or the property. Common examples include mitigation of
mold, standing water, and asbestos, as well as building, roof,
mechanical and electrical issues.
To date, ComEd has invested over $13 million in Health and
Safety measures that enabled 644 projects across 423 single-family
homes and 221 multi-family and public housing properties to safely
proceed, while unlocking another $13 million in energy-efficiency
incentives that help defray the cost of improvements. These
investments resulted in more than 41,000 net megawatt-hours of
energy savings for income-eligible and public housing customers,
which is the equivalent of powering 3,700 ComEd customers’ homes
for one year.
