3Voluntary Commitment to Reduce CO2e Emissions
- Exelon will achieve a reduction of 8 below its
2001 level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by
2008 - 2001 GHG emissions of approximately 15.8M metric
tonnes - 8 reduction equates to a 1.3M metric tonne
reduction, exclusive of any growth in emissions
due to increased output in 2008 - Commit to work with, and encourage, suppliers to
commit to reduce their GHG emissions - Incorporate recognition of GHG emissions and the
cost of emissions credits into future business
case analyses and long range plans

efficiency projects that reduced energy
consumption an incremental 2 (for total of 11
toward the goal) - Received LEED silver certification for Fairless
Hills Renewable Energy Education Center and West
Chester Service Center (Clinton in process) -
- Increased utilization of hybrid vehicles and
introduced new vehicle guidelines to enhance fuel
efficiency and reduce emissions - Launched comprehensive program to green the
supply chain - Initiated two major collaborative efforts Carbon
Disclosure Project Supply Chain survey with 100
top suppliers and founding of Electric Utility
Industry Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance with
14 utilities - Achieved 80 electronic invoices
- Recycled/reused gt30 million pounds of scrap
metal, meters and transformers, along with gt0.7
million gallons of oil recovering 15.7
million and avoiding 105,000 MT of CO2e - Introduced portfolio of department and employee
initiatives
112. Help Our Customers Reduce Their GHG Emissions
- Implement industry-leading energy efficiency and
demand-response programs - Convey competitive price signals to help
customers use energy more efficiently - Enhance wholesale and retail markets for green
products and services - Increase customers awareness of approaches to
reduce GHG emissions
122008 helping customers reduce emissions
- Introduced suite of new energy efficiency
programs - ComEd Smart Ideas Programs for residential and
commercial customers which will save in excess of
166,000 MWhs in the first year - PECO Planning underway to spend up to 85
million per year to reduce consumption by 3 and
reduce peak load by 4.5 by 2013 - Invested in smart grid technology and new pricing
programs - ComEd offered residential real-time pricing
program to more than 6,000 participants in 2008 - ComEds stakeholder workshops to prepare for the
2009 AMI pilot launch for 100,000 customers - Expanded green product and service offerings
- ComEds new net metering tariff
- Exelon Energys certification as a marketer of

low-carbon fossil generation capacity - Increase investment in renewable power
- Expand nuclear generation
142008 offering more low-carbon electricity
- Increased our portfolio of PPAs for renewable
generation by over 200 MW - Wind 17 year PPA for a 198 MW wind farm in
Northern Illinois - Solar 20 year PPAs for the 3 MW Falls Township
facility and the 1 MW Philadelphia Navy Yard
solar facility - Landfill gas 10 year PPA for a 4.5 MW landfill
gas facility in Ohio - Secured agreement with PJM to provide tracking of
carbon emissions from all generating sources in
the market - Several states reviewing the overall proposal
- Annual emissions summary has been developed for
2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 - Next step is for PJM to apportion credit for
reductions and displacement
154. Advocate for Sound Policy
- Federal climate change legislation
- An economy-wide cap-and-trade system that puts a
cost on emitting GHGs and incorporates those
costs into the marketplace - Workable competitive wholesale markets
- Enables investment to flow to more profitable
less carbon-intensive generation technologies - Technology innovation incentives
- Appropriate efficiency standards, financial
incentives (loan guarantees, dedicated funding,
RD for renewables and carbon capture and
sequestration) , workable renewable resource
mandates and a longer term solution for managing
nuclear waste
