Association House joins long list of ComEd
customers who are reducing energy costs and carbon emissions
through US EPA-recognized program
ComEd today announced that hundreds of thousands of customers
have saved a total of $9 billion on their energy bills through the
company’s Energy Efficiency program. The program, which launched in
2008 and is now one of the largest in the nation, also received an
ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award, the
highest level of recognition from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), for the 12th year in a row.
“ComEd’s commitment to providing safe, reliable and affordable
energy includes offering customers tools to help them manage their
energy use as a way to save money and the environment,” said
Melissa Washington, ComEd’s Chief Customer Officer and
Senior Vice President of Customer Operations and Strategic
Initiatives. “It’s an honor to be recognized by the EPA for
efforts that help individuals and organizations redirect funds to
areas that are lifting up families and communities.”
ComEd’s announcements were made at Association House, a
community-based organization in Chicago’s Humboldt Park
neighborhood, which leveraged ComEd EE incentives to install more
than 1,600 energy-efficient lights. The project is expected to
reduce Association House’s total operational costs by $18,000 a
year while saving enough energy to reduce its carbon emissions.
In addition to energy bill savings, Association House also
qualified for $90,000 in incentives through the program to help
defray the cost of its investment. The project is expected to help
Association House save nearly 300,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity
a year, which is the same amount of electricity used to power 35
ComEd customer homes over the same time period. It also helps
reduce 215,000 pounds of carbon emissions that contribute to
climate change, which is the equivalent of planting nearly 120
acres of trees.
“Through our commitment to sustainability, Association House
will use these significant funds saved to provide more resources
and support to our more than 30 programs, impacting thousands of
individuals in our community,” said Juan Carlos Linares,
Association House President & CEO. “We are also proud to do
our part in contributing to a healthier environment and lay the
foundation for a more sustainable tomorrow.”
In addition to billions of dollars in bill savings, the ComEd
Energy Efficiency Program has also helped customers save more than
82 million net megawatt-hours of electricity, which is enough
energy to power more than 9.5 million ComEd customers’ homes for
one year. The program has also helped reduce from the air more than
60 billion pounds of carbon emissions, which is the equivalent of
removing more than 6.1 million cars off the road for one year or
planting nearly 33 million acres of trees.
The award-winning program, which is funded in compliance with
state law, offers residents, businesses and the public sector a
variety of options that help them cut back on their energy use,
which reduces energy bills and helps the environment.
Recipients of the EPA’s 2024 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year
Award for Sustained Excellence are selected through a network of
thousands of ENERGY STAR partners. ComEd is joined this year by
peer Exelon operating companies BGE, Delmarva Power and PECO in
receiving recognition for its programs delivering demonstrable
energy savings and reduction as federal efforts call for more to
curb the effects of climate change.
“President Biden’s Investing in America agenda creates
unprecedented opportunity to build a clean energy economy, and
private sector partners through programs like ENERGY STAR are
leading the way,” said EPA Administrator Michael S.
Regan. “I congratulate this year’s ENERGY STAR award
winners for their innovation and leadership, in delivering
cost-effective energy efficient solutions that create jobs, address
climate change, and contribute to a healthier environment for
all.”
