Exelon's 2020 Plan is a remarkable corporate 'go green' initiative

As one of the nation’s largest energy companies which supplies electricity and natural gas to approximately 5.4 million households in Pennsylvania and Illinois, the Exelon Corporation is a leader in environmental preservation. As the largest and most efficient nuclear fleet in the United States and the third largest commercial nuclear fleet in the world, Exelon always has environmental preservation at the top of its priority list when producing energy that powers so many homes.

Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station, which draws its cooling water from the Schuylkill River, expels only water vapor and produces energy for more than two million homes in the Delaware Valley, without harmful carbon emissions.

In keeping with their eco-friendly mission, Exelon and has created the Exelon 2020 Plan, which is a three-tiered plan to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020.

In order to achieve this goal, Exelon will:

· continue to ‘green’ their own operations
· help their customers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by providing energy efficiency programs
· offer more low carbon electricity by introducing new low-carbon generation capacity. This will allow Exelon to displace other, high-emitting sources of generation and thereby reduce overall emissions in the regions in which they operate.
