Economic Development
Exelon Generation is growing in the Dallas and Fort Worth regions. Through its employees and its corporate giving, Exelon has become a well-known member of the community. Exelon Wind, a division of Exelon Power, owns and operates 12 wind projects in Texas. The 12 wind projects are capable of producing a total of 189.8 megawatts (MW) of clean electricity. Our fossil plants at Handley, Mountain Creek, ExTex LaPorte and Wolf Hollow generate a total of 2,942 megawatts with 88 Exelon employees. Exelon contributes $1.9 million per year in state tax payments.
Environmental Commitment
In 2010, volunteers from Exelon's Texas stations partnered with Habitat for Humanity International to provide green home makeovers to two homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This program is designed to educate all Texas homeowners about low-cost energy-efficiency improvements they can make to save energy and lower their electric bills. Each April, employee volunteers participate in the Lake Arlington Clean Up as part of Exelon's support of National Volunteer Week.
Possible Victoria Nuclear Power Plant
Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exelon Generation, filed an early site permit application with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an 11,500-acre site in Victory County, Texas. While we are not actively pursuing new plant development, the permit would reserve the property for the construction of a zero-emission nuclear power plant for the next 20 years.
Community Involvement
In 2010, Exelon's Texas employees volunteered 600 hours. Exelon also supports a variety of causes and events in Texas, including the Tarrant Area Food Bank, the All Star Equestrian Foundation, and Women that Soar.
