Sustainable portfolio
A low-carbon future requires low-carbon energy. No company is better
positioned to meet this growing demand than Exelon. We are the fourth
largest generation company in the country, yet we release carbon emissions
at a fraction of any other company in the top 10.
It starts with Exelon’s best-in-class nuclear fleet, the largest in the nation,
producing enough energy to power 11.5 million homes with virtually no
greenhouse gas emissions. We continue to extract more energy from
these plants through operational improvements that have doubled the
fleet’s capacity factor in the last 10 years.
Exelon is also deeply invested in alternative energy. We are the largest
marketer of wind-generated electricity east of the Mississippi River and
own the second largest landfill gas facility in the country. Our hydroelectric
facilities can generate more than 1,600 megawatts of electricity. We are
investing in solar energy, as well, through a 20-year power purchase
agreement with the fourth largest solar generation project in the U.S.
In short, Exelon has optimal generation assets for a carbon-constrained
world. We are an energy company completely aligned for the coming
low-carbon revolution.
