ComEd’s EE Program, One of the Largest in the Nation, Continues to Help New Customers Reduce Energy Usage and Costs, While Saving Enough Energy to Power 12 Million Homes for a Whole Year
ComEd today announced that its industry-leading Energy Efficiency (EE) Program has helped customers save more than $12 billion on their energy bills since its launch in 2008. This achievement reflects the dedication of partners, customers and communities working together to build a cleaner, more efficient energy future. The milestone was celebrated at Fox Ridge Apartments, a 48-unit complex in South Elgin, IL, which received a $302,000 rebate through the award-winning program for extensive energy-efficiency upgrades including lighting, heat pumps and weatherization.
“Energy efficiency remains one of the most effective tools for building a cleaner, more affordable energy future,” said Paige Knutsen, Executive Director of the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA). “Efficiency programs help families and businesses use energy smarter, reduce costs, and strengthen the reliability of our energy systems. ComEd's leading energy efficiency program is a strong example for how we can support customers in taking energy management into their own hands and lower energy expenses for families that need it most.”
Today’s announcement was attended by local leaders and energy stakeholders, including South Elgin Deputy Village Administrator Megan Golden, South Elgin Community Development Director Nancy Hill, Illinois Commerce Commissioner Stacey Paradis, State Representative Dan Ugaste and Executive Director of MEEA Paige Knutsen.
