Exelon

Regulated utility delivering electricity and gas

Overview

Exelon is a public utility holding company that owns six regulated electric and gas utilities on the East Coast and in the Mid-Atlantic: Atlantic City Electric, Baltimore Gas and Electric, Commonwealth Edison, Delmarva Power, PECO, and Pepco. Its main work is delivering electricity and natural gas to about 11 million customers through these regulated utilities, and it earns revenue from state-approved rates for transmission and distribution rather than from energy commodity prices. The company supports grid modernization and infrastructure upgrades with substantial capital investments; its business model emphasizes reliable service, regulatory compliance, and predictable earnings tied to regulated rates. Exelon’s goal is to provide safe, dependable energy delivery and improve the electric grid, while growing through prudent investments within its regulated footprint.

Trump plans $17 billion gas hub in Southwestern Pa.

Trump plans $17 billion gas hub in Southwestern Pa. A $17 billion natural gas-powered generation hub is planned for Southwestern Pennsylvania, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Why it matters: The "South Mon Project" would be among the nation's largest gas facilities, designed to meet rising power demand from data centers and lower energy costs by tapping into Southwestern Pennsylvania's vast natural gas reserves. State of play: The facility, operated by Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources, would produce up to 4.3 gigawatts of power (enough to power roughly 3 million homes), connect to existing pipelines and supply power to the PJM grid, which serves a dozen states plus Pennsylvania and is facing significant energy shortfalls. * It's one of three projects announced nationwide this week tied to President Trump's $550 billion trade deal with Japan. * It would be owned jointly by Japan and the U.S. under the structure of the trade agreement, but would be built and operated by NextEra, according to the company. * NextEra previously owned the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex in Delaware County, which it sold a decade ago. What they're saying: "Our hub strategy is designed to scale quickly and support rising demand while strengthening America's energy security without increasing electricity costs for American households," said NextEra CEO John Ketchum. * "The new generation hub in Southwest Pennsylvania secured by the President will expand domestic power generation, create good-paying jobs, and lower energy costs for families across the Commonwealth," said White House Spokesperson Liz Huston in a statement. * "Not only will it provide much-needed power generation to the grid, but it will help deliver energy cost savings for the American consumer, support jobs and the regional economy, and strengthen U.S. energy security," said Jim Welty, Marcellus Shale Coalition president. Yes, but: Key details remain unclear, including the project site, scope and timeline. The company and the White House did not offer further information on Friday. * It's also uncertain how the project will navigate equipment supply chain constraints, lengthy permitting processes and other regulatory hurdles that can delay projects for years - even as the Trump administration pushes to cut red tape. The other side: David Masur, director of environmentalist group PennEnvironment, told Axios Pittsburgh on Friday the priority should be clearing PJM's backlog of renewable projects and boosting energy efficiency to cut costs. * "It won't deliver for ratepayers who are suffering from high energy prices today because it will take years - if not decades - to build such a project," he said. "Continuing to promote 19th century forms of energy in the 21st century doesn't make sense for our environment, our health or our pocketbooks." Flashback: The White House last month promised a $33 billion, 9.2-gigawatt gas plant in Southern Ohio - one of the world's largest - linked to the U.S.-Japan trade deal. Zoom out: NextEra and Exelon Corp. have also partnered to propose a $1.7 billion high-voltage transmission "superhighway" across Southwestern and Central Pa. Between the lines: Natural gas is emerging as a clear winner in the data center race; one report released in February by Cleanview found it accounted for 75% of the power equipment planned at future sites. What's next: NextEra says it's working to solidify its plans while "coordinating closely with federal, state and local stakeholders."

Exelon's Transmission Security Agreements: A pioneering model for customer protection.

Exelon's Transmission Security Agreements: A pioneering model for customer protection. Industry. As energy costs rise, Exelon is pioneering innovative protections designed to get electric costs under control for families and small businesses. America needs more transmission to power growth, from large data centers to electrification, but the demand from that growth should not unfairly shift costs to residential and small business customers. That's why Exelon is deploying new Transmission Security Agreements to insulate smaller customers from the costs of bringing big energy users, such as data centers, online. The Big Picture A Transmission Security Agreement (TSA) is a customer protection that requires large new power users like data centers to make firm financial commitments for the transmission service that the grid must be ready to provide. At the same time, TSAs allow local energy companies to step up and deliver the infrastructure needed to power innovation and economic growth while continuing to support reliability for all customers. Where Things Stand Exelon now has nearly 10 TSAs in place across its local energy companies - with more being reviewed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission - making this approach one of the most advanced and nuanced customer protection tools in the industry. How Transmission Security Agreements Work * Places an emphasis on the grid Exelon Corporation share The grid is a shared network, and the TSA is about ensuring large new customers pay appropriately for using that shared system, both now and as Exelon Corporation continue to invest in it. * Puts financial responsibility in the right place TSAs ensure that companies are responsible and can pay their fair share. * Keeps reliable growth in focus They support reliable growth while helping ensure larger customers are discouraged from speculative, "phantom load" requests. Why It's Different By using TSAs, Exelon is flipping the script by getting large load customers like data centers to have "skin in the game." TSAs can serve as a model that puts an emphasis on accountability, transparency and a way to keep bills as low as possible. Ultimately, they can help ensure that only serious, committed projects move forward while reducing expensive projects that could shift costs onto families and small businesses. What's Next Exelon plans to continue using TSAs as a key tool as energy demand increases, especially from large new loads like data centers. Exelon Corporation'll keep working with regulators to refine innovative solutions that protect customers while strengthening the grid.

Powering Affordable, Reliable Energy Customers Can Count On When it comes to energy, customers expect two things above all else: reliability and affordability...
