Guiding Principles
Driving Competition and Customer Choice
As the nation’s largest competitive energy provider, Exelon maintains a strategic presence in key competitive markets and believes that competition drives choice, innovation and savings for businesses and residential customers alike. The company champions competitive power markets as the best framework for meeting important economic and environmental policy objectives, including ensuring the nation’s shift to a cleaner energy supply in the most cost-effective manner.
Advancing Clean Energy
Exelon has one of the nation’s cleanest and lowest-cost power generation portfolios, with 55 percent nuclear, 28 percent natural gas and 9 percent hydro, wind, solar and other clean generation. Exelon has made numerous investments to prepare for the nation’s transition to cleaner air as the Clean Air Act is enforced. The company is executing a plan to invest billions of dollars in cost-efficient, clean energy projects between 2010 and 2015, including a comprehensive nuclear uprate program to further increase its clean generation portfolio. In addition, the company manages load response programs for commercial and industrial customers across the Unites States and Canada.
Recognizing the urgent need to transition to a clean, reliable and affordable energy future, in 2008 the company launched Exelon 2020, an industry-leading strategy to eliminate 15.7 million metric tons of carbon emissions – the equivalent of the company’s 2001 carbon footprint – by 2020. Exelon has achieved 80 percent of the goal as of the end of 2011. Over time, Exelon 2020 has evolved beyond carbon emissions to also identify reliable, lower-cost electricity supply options that reduce emissions of air pollutants targeted by the Clean Air Act.
