Exelon’s smart grid initiatives and commitment
to innovation help propel two states and District of Columbia to
top 10 spots
States and areas served by Exelon utilities had a strong showing
in this year’s Grid Modernization Index (GMI), available at
www.gridwise.org. Illinois, Maryland and the District of Columbia
scored in the top 10 and all states served by Exelon’s utilities –
Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and Pepco
– are in the top 25 in the report.
“Our investments in smarter and more resilient grid systems are
producing greater customer value through enhanced reliability, more
choice, control and convenience,” said Anne Pramaggiore, senior
executive vice president and CEO of Exelon Utilities. “The scores
in the states we serve are a result of our efforts to modernize and
transform the grid to prepare for a future of climate challenges
and connect our customers and communities to clean, affordable
energy services they desire.”
Notably, ComEd’s work to modernize its energy grid has brought
greater reliability and control over energy usage to its customers,
helping to earn Illinois the second spot among all U.S. states in
2018. This is the fourth consecutive year that Illinois was
recognized as a top state in grid modernization.
Maryland, which is served by three Exelon utilities, BGE,
Delmarva Power, and Pepco, earned the number three spot. Exelon’s
utilities have been closely involved in many aspects of the grid
modernization for which the state was recognized. These efforts
include the state’s strong smart meter deployment, high level of
customer engagement through energy efficiency and demand response
programs, continued investments in the local energy grid to enhance
resiliency and reliability, and ongoing efforts to plan for the
future energy grid, including electric vehicles, battery storage
and distributed generation.
“We appreciate the work and support of the policy makers and
stakeholders in our states who help make these efforts possible
with key legislative and regulatory policies,” said
Pramaggiore.
The report, produced by the GridWise® Alliance and the Smart
Grid Policy Center, evaluates and ranks states based on their
progress in modernizing their electric systems with smart grid
technologies. The GMI applies a clearly defined set of criteria to
evaluate the progress of state grid modernization efforts in three
key areas: State Support, Customer Engagement and Grid
Operations.
