As the nation’s largest producer of emissions-free energy, Exelon Corporation has a long history of leadership on climate change, having met – and exceeded -- three previous emissions reduction goals spanning both our generation company and utilities division dating back to 2005. Each of the company’s utilities has already reduced their own emissions significantly and worked in their communities to deploy smart grid technology, electric vehicle infrastructure and other tools and programs aimed at making the grid more efficient and helping customers reduce energy use. The latest “Path to Clean” goal takes those efforts to the next level.

Key Points: 
  • Exelon Utilities today announced it will reduce its operations-driven emissions 50 percent by 2030* and ultimately to net-zero by 2050 as part of its continuing efforts to address the climate crisis.
  • A division of Exelon Corporation, Exelon Utilities is composed of Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and PEPCO.
  • To achieve net-zero emissions from operations, some of the actions Exelon Utilities will take include:
    The company also will seek to reduce emissions beyond its own operations by continuing to advocate for sound climate policies, partnering with state and local leaders to achieve community emissions goals, and piloting new grid technologies, among other actions.
  • *The goal to reduce emissions 50 percent by 2030 is relative to a 2015 emissions baseline.
