I couldn't agree more, Calvin Butler. Our interns are truly exceptional, embodying the passion and innovative spirit that drives Exelon forward. Their contributions are not only valuable but also inspiring and I'm proud to see the future leaders of the energy sector thriving here. Keep up the fantastic work, everyone!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of serving as the keynote speaker at the Pepco Holdings Engineering Fair. It was a pleasure to engage with a group of brilliant and dedicated employees who are at the forefront of Exelon's energy transformation efforts. Our engineers are not just solving today’s challenges; they are pioneering the innovations that will shape the future of energy. Their creativity, dedication and technical prowess are critical to our mission of delivering sustainable, reliable and innovative energy solutions. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared their insights. Your work is integral to our success and a more sustainable energy future. I look forward to seeing the incredible advancements we continue to achieve together. #EngineeringExcellence #EnergyTransformation #Innovation #Sustainability

I've been in this industry for more than 30 years, and always learn something when I spend time with the incredible men and women across Exelon who are working diligently to ensure our customers can count on us for the power they need – especially during a summer like this. Lineworkers are essential to our mission of powering a cleaner and brighter future for our customers. THANK YOU! Your hard work ensures that homes, businesses and critical services have the power they need to operate effectively and safely. #ThankALineworker

I’m thrilled to welcome Roberto Eduardo Perez Jr to the PECO board of directors. He's a highly respected and accomplished leader at Hilco Redevelopment Partners, and his expertise in real estate capital investment activities will be invaluable to PECO as we continue to power a cleaner, brighter future across the Greater Philadelphia region. It has been an honor to serve together on the The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia board, and I look forward to what we will accomplish together at PECO. https://lnkd.in/eTw2emSG

Chris’ passion for excellence and the importance of giving back to our communities was a great inspiration to me over the years I knew and worked with him. We will make sure his legacy lives on at Exelon.

As we begin Women's History Month, let's honor the achievements, resilience, and brilliance of women throughout history and in our lives today. They have shaped our world, broken barriers, and have inspired change.   It was a privilege to welcome Philadelphia’s first female mayor to the The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia Annual Mayoral Luncheon. In a room filled with dynamic leaders from business, community, and elected office, we were united by a common goal – to make Philadelphia “the safest, cleanest, and greenest big city in the nation, with economic opportunity for all”. And, in the spirit of Women’s History Month, it’s only fitting that in addition to recognizing our first female Mayor, I also recognize our guest at the event, the Honorable Joanna McClinton, Pennsylvania’s first female House Speaker and Chellie Cameron, the first female CEO of the Chamber.   Thank you to Chellie Cameron for hosting this remarkable event, and congratulations to Mayor Cherelle Parker on this historic achievement.    #WomensHistoryMonth   Pictured with: Mayor Cherelle Parker and Honorable Joanna McClinton, Pennsylvania Speaker of the House of Representatives

It was an honor to volunteer today at Girard College in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. #dayofservice, where so many of us came together to help families impacted by gun violence. Gun violence is one of the most important issues that we’re facing in Philadelphia, and it's up to all of us to work together to keep our communities safe.   Events like this, and the people they touch, are why PECO is committed to supporting our communities. Special thanks to PECO employees for donating your time and embodying Dr. King's spirit of service. Your dedication to community partner organizations across the region today, speaks volumes about our collective values. Together, we are making a difference!

At PECO, we do more than keep the lights on and natural gas flowing. We’re committed to generating equity in energy, safely delivering reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy to the more than 1.7 million electric customers and more than 548,000 gas customers we serve across southeastern Pennsylvania.    I’m proud to share that earlier this week, PECO was selected to receive a grant worth up to $100 million from the Department of Energy (DOE) Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) program to help us further this commitment. This grant will allow us to deploy our CREATE Plan (Creating a Resilient, Equitable, and Accessible Transformation in Energy). CREATE is a comprehensive platform for the Philadelphia region’s energy future, delivering significant reliability and resiliency benefits, while advancing energy equity and job opportunities in disadvantaged communities.     This funding was made available by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a once-in-a-generation $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure funding opportunity focused on building resilient infrastructure, accelerating an equitable, clean energy transition, and creating good-paying jobs in communities. The DOE made approximately $10.5 billion available nationwide to enhance grid flexibility and improve the resilience of the nation’s power grid against growing threats of extreme weather and climate change.    We’re thrilled to be able to carry out this work across southeastern Pennsylvania. I encourage you to read more about CREATE and the critical infrastructure investments we’ll be able to make for our customers.  

The issue of gun violence hit devastatingly close to home earlier this week when a PECO employee was struck by a stray bullet while on the job in Philadelphia. We are very fortunate that our colleague was quickly released from the hospital and is recovering, but I’d be remiss not to acknowledge that this incident is only one of many that have become far too common in our region.     While no one person or organization can solve this issue alone, I find comfort in knowing that at PECO we are working hard to help mitigate paths to ongoing violence and incarceration through our workforce development and community engagement efforts, which are proven to make a difference. Collaboration is also a vital part of making a greater impact and that is a key priority in my role as Board Chair of The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia and PECO’s support of the Civic Coalition to Save Lives, a group of businesses, civic, and philanthropic organizations that are working to reduce gun violence in Philadelphia. We owe it to future generations to act now - learn more about the Civic Coalition to Save Lives. https://lnkd.in/ep9fnGhE

I’m delighted to welcome Michelle Hong to the PECO board of directors. Her financial expertise and community engagement will be invaluable to the board. I look forward to collaborating as we continue to advance our work at PECO and provide an equitable, cleaner energy future for southeastern Pennsylvania. https://lnkd.in/eHicapNx
