Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recognized ComEd for those achievements.\n\nFor the 11th straight year, ComEd received the ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award, the EPA’s and DOE’s highest level of recognition. Award recipients are part of a distinguished group that have made long-term commitments to fighting climate change and protecting public health through energy efficiency.\n\n“As we accelerate historic efforts to address climate change, public-private partnerships will be essential to realizing the scale of our ambition,” said EPA Administrator Michael S.

The program also helped customers save more than 70 million net megawatt-hours of electricity, which is the annual equivalent to:\n\n\nreducing nearly 60 billion pounds of carbon emissions from the atmosphere,\n\n\nremoving nearly 6 million cars from the road,\n\n\nplanting more than 33 million acres of trees and\n\n\npowering more than 8 million ComEd customers’ hom...
