DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Air Compressor Market Size, Segments, Outlook, and Revenue Forecast 2022-2028 by Type, Technology, Lubrication, Application and Region" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


According to estimates, the Global Air Compressor Market grew from around ~US$25 Bn in 2017 to nearly ~US$30 Bn in 2022 and is expected to grow further into a more than ~US$40 Bn opportunity by 2028.

It is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~5% during the forecasted period (2022-2028), owing to the rapid growth in industrialization and rising investments to enhance the oil and gas pipeline network.

One of the main factors propelling the expansion of the global air compressor market is the expanding oil and gas sector. The market is expanding as a result of the increased energy demand in developing nations like China, India, and South Korea. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) by 2045, it is anticipated that India's oil consumption will have increased by a factor of 2x, to reach 11 million barrels per day.

Environmentally friendly compressor technologies, low maintenance, retrofitting of existing systems, efficient operation at lower costs, rising adoption of variable-speed systems, oil-free lubrication processes, and growth in the popularity of portable models are propelling the growth of the market.

The global market is expanding due to the rising demand for air compressors that are energy-efficient in order to reduce operating costs. The market growth is anticipated to be positively impacted by the increasing initiatives taken by key industry players to create affordable and environmentally friendly air compressors.

Several businesses have already created next-generation systems that provide high-performance capabilities at reasonable prices. Atlas Copco, a Swedish multinational industrial company, in 2022, has launched a New Energy-Efficient GA VSDS Compressor that provides up to 60% energy savings and intelligent, adaptable operation.

Strict government restrictions related to noise levels and greenhouse gases emitted by air compressors would be a significant barrier for this market. According to Legal Information Institute, a non-profit organization, portable air compressors with a maximum rated capacity of less than or equal to 250 cubic feet per minute (cfm) should not produce an average sound level in excess of 76 dBA when measured and evaluated in accordance with the methodology given by this regulation.

Governments all over the world implemented stringent national lockdowns in 2020 as a result of the growing need to stop the COVID-19 illness from spreading. This in turn hindered a number of businesses and enterprises from expanding. The pandemic also had an impact on the air compressor market, which saw a significant fall in sales and profitability. But post-COVID-19, it's anticipated that a greater emphasis on energy efficiency, energy recovery, and lowering CO2 emissions would fuel demand for air compressors.

Competitive Landscape

The air compressor market is highly competitive with ~300 players which include globally diversified players, regional players as well as a large number of country-niche players having their niche in air compressors.

Country-niche players control about ~55% of the market, while regional players constitute ~30% of the total number of competitors by type. Some of the major players in the market include Ingersoll Rand Plc, Atlas Copco, Elgi equipment limited, MAT Holdings, Inc., Sullair, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., Bauer Compressors, Inc., VMAC Company, Kirloskar Pneumatic, and Doosan Portable power

Recent Developments Related to Major Players

In August 2019, the new line of cutting-edge compressors from Atlas Copco was introduced for small and medium-sized businesses. The new compressors contribute to cost- and production-cutting.

In February 2021, the Mid-Range Series Portable Compressors from Sullair were introduced. The electronic spiral valve technology, which enables flexibility and improved operational efficiency, is integrated into this device.

Conclusion

The global air compressor is forecasted to continue the exponential growth that is witnessed since 2017, due to the increasing demand for products with higher operational output and efficiency is the primary concern that manufacturers are seeking to address in the market. Though the market is highly competitive with ~300 players, few global players control the dominant market share and regional players also hold a significant market share.

Counterspark will be focused on advocating for state-based solutions that can rapidly scale and decarbonize the American economy

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Counterspark, a consumer-empowering, solutions-oriented nonprofit organization, launched its new brand today to give individuals the tools they need to make an impact in accelerating the clean energy transition. The revamped 501(c)(4) organization will build momentum for policies and projects that significantly expand use of clean energy and electrified transportation, with the goal of advancing a vision of the future that has clean air, a safe climate, and a thriving economy.


“Americans overwhelmingly want action on solving the climate crisis, but too often the local benefits of clean energy projects are misunderstood or even intentionally distorted by small but vocal minorities,” said Counterspark President J.R. Tolbert. “That minority of voices saying ‘no’ is too often winning out. The goal of Counterspark is to give people a platform to tell elected officials it’s time to start saying ‘yes’ to climate solutions, and say yes to the technologies, policies, and projects we need to solve the climate crisis.”

As it launches its new brand, Counterspark will be focused on advocating for state-based solutions that can rapidly scale and decarbonize the American economy, starting with critical issues that supporters can have a big impact on quickly:

  • Making the energy transition work for everyone
  • Cleaner air through electrifying transportation
  • Powering America with American-made clean energy

“The technologies needed to solve the climate crisis already exist, we just need to make them broadly available,” added Tolbert, a veteran of clean energy advocacy campaigns. “We want to speed up the deployment of climate solutions by overcoming policy barriers at the local, state, and federal level.”

Initial funding for Counterspark comes from Advanced Energy United, a national business association whose mission is to accelerate the transition to a 100% carbon-free economy in the U.S. The businesses in Advanced Energy United’s membership are lowering consumer costs, creating millions of new jobs, and providing the full range of clean, efficient, and reliable energy and transportation solutions. Counterspark will use its relationship with Advanced Energy United and Advanced Energy Institute, an educational and research partner organization, to work with the innovative industries delivering clean energy resources to our homes, businesses, and schools.

Millions of Data Points, Ability to Drill Down will Allow Companies to Find Efficient Path to EV Transition


TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--J.D. Power, a global leader in data analytics and consumer intelligence, today announced the introduction of the J.D. Power EV Index℠, an analytics tool to track the growing EV market in the United States. Each month, the index will arrive at one number (on a 100-point scale) to make it easy to understand the progress to parity of EVs with traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The sub-category numbers will represent all the roadblocks to parity. Today, the EV Index score is 47 (based on the most recent available data from November 2022), with some categories improving and others declining during the 12-month pilot period. The EV Index score and accompanying analysis will be available monthly.

“Vehicle electrification has industry leaders grappling with billion-dollar decisions, and hyper-detailed data and analytics will help guide their decision making,” said Elizabeth Krear, vice president of electric vehicle practice at J.D. Power. “We’ve created a smart and dynamic way to capture how the EV marketplace is performing in relation to gas-powered vehicles, and the index provides a heightened level of detail never seen before in this arena.”

Millions of data points are aggregated into six specific categories to make up the EV Index:

  • Interest—This factor measures the potential commitment to purchasing an EV based on voice of the customer and online behavioral data. The Interest score is 32, up 8 points from a year ago in the pilot phase, due largely to the growing number of EV models available or soon coming to market.
  • Availability—This factor measures the proportion of new-vehicle buyers who have an EV purchase option that meets their buying needs, reflective of factors like price, manufacturer origin, segment and other inputs. The Availability score is 30, up 12 points year over year due largely to the ongoing introduction of EV models into new and important segments.
  • Adoption—This factor measures the proportion of new-vehicle buyers who purchase an EV, relative to those with a viable substitute meeting their needs. The Adoption score is 22, down 4 points from a year ago primarily because the expansion of EV model availability is outpacing EV retail share.
  • Affordability—This factor measures the total cost of ownership of an EV compared with the ICE segment average (after tax credits, rebates, incentives, operating costs and residual values—for both purchase and lease transactions). The Affordability score is 84, down 12 points year over year as EV prices have increased and 15 models were disqualified beginning in August when the Inflation Reduction Act’s North America manufacturing criteria kicked in. The Affordability score is expected to change dramatically based on January 2023 data as the manufacturers’ volume cap is lifted, but vehicle price thresholds and income limits are factored into the purchase of an EV. Leasing, which is currently at 10%, also is expected to grow because the criteria are less restrictive for leasing.
  • Infrastructure—This factor measures the availability, location, speed, and quality and reliability of EV charging compared with gas stations for ICE vehicles. The Infrastructure score is 27, down 4 points year over year primarily because the volume of EV units in operation is outpacing the rate of reliable charger installations.
  • Experience—This factor measures owners’ overall satisfaction with their EV, including appeal, quality, durability, range and the sales and service experiences, as compared with an ICE vehicle equivalent. The Experience score is 89, down 2 points from a year ago due largely to declining satisfaction with the EV sales experience.

The first-of-its-kind EV Index for the U.S. market enables industry stakeholders—automakers, utilities, suppliers, charge point operators and legislators—to navigate today’s rapidly evolving EV environment with real-time data that is plugged into a dynamic, web-based portal. The portal is equipped with cutting-edge visualizations, a simple-to-understand dashboard and a custom query tool that can help stakeholders make faster and more reliable decisions.

The new service also includes substantially increased data granularity in which metrics are available at the national, regional, state and Designated Market Area (DMA) levels, and can be broken down by segment, brand and model.

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Bowman”) (NASDAQ: BWMN) announced that Cuhaci Peterson™, a nationally-recognized architecture and engineering firm, has teamed with Bowman’s geospatial division to deliver time and cost savings for their clients by utilizing Bowman’s minimally invasive ceiling scanning techniques.


Interior scanning of structures that have ceiling tiles, like grocery stores, presents a challenge for efficiency and accuracy for surveyors. Bowman took on this challenge to develop a new and proven technique that is simple, elegant, accurate, and most of all, repeatable in other environments.

Prior to developing this technique, ground level 3-D scanning in an open interior environment was simple enough. However, tying that information to the scanning data above the ceiling tiles was difficult unless they were all removed, which is inefficient and time consuming. For Bowman’s geospatial team, the key was finding a way to tie the scans vertically throughout the space at different elevations, then mapping them horizontally to develop the entire landscape of the structure. Cuhaci Peterson was specifically looking for a national partner who could provide this type of service, in a timely manner and within their data requirements, for structures that were 60,000-100,000 square feet.

The wealth of data provided by Bowman in just two evenings of scanning, allowed Cuhaci Peterson to streamline the development of recent commercial designs with precise knowledge of both the visible building interior and above ceiling structure of the facility. Bowman’s scanning revealed previously unknown information about the structure that could only have been discovered using this technique.

“When we saw the sophisticated detail that Bowman’s geospatial team could provide, along with the efficiency of their processes, we knew that it would allow us to deliver a real advantage to our clients,” said Bryon McCarthy, Cuhaci Peterson principal. “It is a win whenever we can bring time and cost efficiency into our design process. Bowman has proven to be a solid, and innovative, asset in delivering on this commitment to our clients.”

“Bowman continues to evaluate and refine new scanning capabilities to deliver incredible detail and data accuracy to forward-thinking firms like Cuhaci Peterson,” said Marc Olmeda, PLS, Bowman principal. “Our processes have proven to be exceptionally effective in retail and other difficult to access environments.”

About Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Bowman): Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, Bowman is an engineering services firm delivering infrastructure solutions to customers who own, develop, and maintain the built environment. With approximately 1,700 employees in more than 70 offices in the United States, Bowman provides a variety of planning, engineering, geospatial, construction management, commissioning, environmental consulting, land procurement and other technical services to customers operating in a diverse set of regulated end markets.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "European Residential Solar Market: Analysis By Accumulated Installation, By Accumulated Capacity, By Region Size and Trends with Impact of COVID-19 and Forecast up to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The European residential solar market, on the basis of accumulated capacity, is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.60% over the projected period of 2022-2027.

The European residential solar market, in terms of accumulated capacity, in 2021 stood at 40.40GW, and is likely to reach 71.75GW by 2027. A residential solar PV system is any solar PV system that produces less power than or equal to 250kW. A typical 65 by 39-inch residential solar panel installation contains 72 cells.

The use of non-renewable fuels and other types of energy resources is posing major dangers to the ecosystem, making solar power more important than ever. The use of solar energy has increased dramatically in recent years in both developed and developing countries.

Solar energy is currently one of the most affordable and widely available renewable energy sources for European households. By 2040, it may be able to supply up to 20% of the EU's electricity needs based on current market trends. The expansion of residential solar energy installations is a crucial step in the transition to clean energy and climate neutrality.

Market Segmentation Analysis:

By Accumulated Installation: On the basis of accumulated installation, the European residential solar market can be divided into five major regions: Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Rest of Europe. Germany is the largest solar market in Europe as well as the largest solar PV operator in 2021, owing to the German government's implementation of a subsidy for residential installations of solar PV panels with battery storage in 2016.

By Accumulated Capacity: The European residential solar market can be divided into nine primary regions based on accumulated capacity: Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Belgium, the UK, Sweden, Spain, and the Rest of Europe. Due to the removal of the Sun tax on self-consumption in 2020, automated excess recompense, as well as collective and through-the-network facilities, the Spanish residential solar market is believed to be the fastest growing market. Since then, the market for final consumers has steadily gained traction.

European Residential Solar Market Dynamics:

Growth Drivers: As a result of a large drop in price, solar energy is becoming economically viable at smaller scales and at more locations. People in Europe are spending more on the installation of solar power systems as the cost of solar energy continues to decline. Further, the market is expected to grow owing to surging demand for electrification in society, higher and more volatile electricity prices, increased support from government, etc. in recent years.

Challenges: The European residential solar market's supply chain has become more clogged, with inefficiencies in hardware delivery. Many countries have experienced a labor shortage in recent years, owing to mismatches between supply and demand. As a result, customers' residential solar power systems appear to take longer to install after they are ordered. Hence, the residential solar market in Europe has faced long-term value chain disruption.

Market Trends: The payback period for residential solar has decreased, even though this varies greatly from country to country due to various sun conditions and deployment rules. The alternative cost of using the grid instead of installing residential solar is also decreasing as a result of positive market dynamics in the Europe. Despite major differences, all countries' payback periods are far less than the solar panels' 30+ year anticipated lifetime.

Therefore, short payback time for residential solar in Europe is likely to upgrow the overall market, in coming years. More trends in the market are believed to grow the residential solar market during the forecasted period, which may include use of artificial intelligence, European solar rooftops initiative, national energy and climate plans (NECPs), etc.

Competitive Landscape and Recent Developments:

A large number of installation businesses make up the highly fragmented residential solar market in Europe, owing to the availability of local, regional, and multinational suppliers.

While some smaller businesses specialize in selling solar panels and are only present in one or a few places, larger businesses often offer a wider range of products, have a larger geographic presence, and strive for continued expansion. In the residential solar sector, where businesses sell or lease products with lengthy lifetimes, scalability and the capacity to rapidly increase market share are key determinants.

Moreover, some of the major drivers that can propel the industry's growth are fierce rivalry, rapid technology advancements, frequent changes in governmental policy, and tight environmental laws. Cost, product quality, dependability, and aftermarket support are all domains where vendors compete. In a highly competitive market environment, providers must offer affordable and effective products to thrive.

With investment budgeted, factories planned, environmental targets established, and governmental strategies outlined to support the predicted expansion of PV systems, ambitious measures are in place to restart a thriving industry.

For example, In October 2021, Meyer Burger Technology AG, a Switzerland-based solar module maker, unveiled a building-integrated PV (BIPV) project regarding solar roof tiles. The new product was designed by a German engineering company paXos Consulting & Engineering GmbH & Co. KG and sold the patent to Meyer Burger.

Statements about hashrate capacity

Statements in the press release about hashrate capacity (including ‘installed capacity’) or ‘nameplate’ capacity, will often differ from the actual or observed hashrates. Hashrate capacity or ‘nameplate’ capacity generally makes certain assumptions about the efficiency of the ASIC miners that are in use. Some ASIC miner models will consume less power to create the same amount of hashing power than other ASIC miner models (typically more recent models are more efficient). Many ASIC miner fleets are blended fleets, including various ASIC miner models each with different efficiency ratings. Hashrate capacity figures typically assume 100% deployment of ASIC miners. Given the large numbers of computing units (often numbering in the tens of thousands), ASIC mining fleets are rarely 100% deployed and online at any one time. This can be due to a variety of factors, including ASIC miners being under maintenance, in repair workshops, in storage, in transit, or due to technical faults and breakdowns. Once deployed and online, the actual or observed hashrate can be influenced by other factors such as heat, overclocking (causing the ASIC miner to perform at levels higher than the manufacturer’s specifications), the age, and wear and tear exhibited by the ASIC miners and also by the limitations of the surrounding infrastructure, such as power outages, and MDC and transformer breakdowns. Construction and development delays are a common risk for mining data centers, for example due to weather, permitting delays, or labor and equipment shortages. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best-case scenario. The above information is for general information purposes only, and are forward looking statements which should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Mawson takes no responsibility for the accuracy of third-party information, including websites. Please see our Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 21, 2022, under the Sub-Heading Risks Relating to Our Business and Management for important risks related to our Self-Mining.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Mawson cautions that statements in this press release that are not a description of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words referencing future events or circumstances such as “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” and “will,” among others. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon Mawson’s current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, the possibility that Mawson’s need and ability to raise additional capital, the development and acceptance of digital asset networks and digital assets and their protocols and software, the reduction in incentives to mine digital assets over time, the costs associated with digital asset mining, the volatility in the value and prices of cryptocurrencies and further or new regulation of digital assets.

  • Schneider Electric earns recognition for advancing pay equity and fostering an inclusive and caring work environment

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been named as a Global Parity Alliance Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Lighthouse for its Global Pay Equity (GPE) initiative, by the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Centre for the New Economy and Society.



This award recognizes Schneider Electric’s efforts to promote inclusion and care by advancing pay equity across all its offices. Schneider Electric’s Global Pay Equity initiative began in 2014 with pilots in 12 countries. Since then, it has been implemented in over 100 countries, reaching 99.6 per cent of the company’s total workforce by the end of 2020.

“It’s an honor to be recognized for our ongoing commitment to gender equity. We believe that an inclusive and caring company culture is key for creating a sustainable future. We want to bring a long-term positive impact for our people, our company, and our planet – and that can only be achieved by providing equitable opportunities to everyone, everywhere. We’ve gained a lot of momentum and progress over the years in this area, and we’re determined to continue hardwiring equity and inclusion in all stages of our employees’ experience.” said Charise Le, Schneider Electric’s Chief Human Resources Officer.

Established by the WEF in collaboration with McKinsey & Company, the Global Parity Alliance is a global, cross-industry group of organizations that is working to drive better and faster DEI outcomes by identifying initiatives with proven impact, sharing insights that have been key to their success, and elevating DEI action to CEO level.

Schneider Electric’s Global Pay Equity initiative has enabled year-over-year improvements in the female pay gap, through:

  • A global-local compensation framework: a unified global methodology to address pay gaps, starting with a common definition for “pay gap”, a consistent approach to gap measurement, and a company-wide target; local HR teams were then empowered to define action plans to close gaps based on local market needs and conditions.
  • A compensation review process: set on a quarterly basis at global and local levels to review KPIs and identify emerging gaps; the process also integrated a pay equity adjustment process into annual salary reviews to identify and close gaps.
  • Upskilling for HR compensation teams and department managers: Schneider trained HR professionals and people managers to increase awareness of the impact of gender biases on compensation, and to equip them with the tools they need to make equitable pay decisions throughout the recruitment, promotion, and pay review processes.
  • Data automation: introduced automated data analysis and reporting through its HR Information System to identify pay gaps through accurate tracking of key drivers across the employee life cycle.

Schneider Electric has since expanded its GPE program, setting itself the goal to attain and maintain a pay gap of <1 per cent for all employees, and to achieve a 50:40:30 gender balance (i.e., women should represent 50 per cent of all new hires, 40 per cent of all frontline managers, and 30 per cent of senior leadership) by 2025. The company will also look to implement a pay equity simulator tool to provide broader visibility into pay gap data, to help managers, HR business partners and recruiters make fair offers to potential candidates.

  • Outline grid work needed to maintain record-breaking reliability
  • Support expansion of renewables and beneficial electrification
  • Prioritize under-resourced communities, spur local job creation and investment

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ComEd today filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) multi-year grid and rate plans (“the plans”) that will strengthen the region’s infrastructure and economy and increase access to the benefits of clean energy and decarbonization under the state’s Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA). The plans also ensure that the electric grid remains reliable and resilient for the 9 million people ComEd serves in northern Illinois as severe weather events become more common due to climate change.


“ComEd has a critical role in ensuring the transition to cleaner energy is reliable and equitable for all,” said ComEd CEO Gil Quiniones. “These proposed investments are necessary to deliver the resilient 24/7 power our customers depend on, prepare the grid for fleets of electric vehicles and electrification, integrate more clean energy and battery storage, and equitably advance a decarbonized energy future. In addition to supporting the goals of CEJA, the plans will create good-paying local jobs and drive investment to help ensure all communities – especially those that are under-resourced – benefit from the clean energy transition.”

The grid plan reflects input provided in 15 ICC-led workshops, which involved hundreds of participants and dozens of presentations on energy issues and community and stakeholder priorities. Following an 11-month open process in which the ICC, other public agencies, and consumer, environmental and other groups will review the plan and costs, the ICC will issue a decision in December 2023. State regulators must find all costs prudent and reasonable before including them in rates.

Multi-Year Plan Advantages

ComEd’s rate plan sets base rates and revenue requirements for four years, which provides greater predictability for customers while funding investments that are required to deliver at least 40 percent of benefits to equity investment-eligible communities. The plans align with ComEd 2030, the company’s recently announced vision for a carbon-free energy future that will benefit all communities and meet customers’ changing needs for the rest of this decade and beyond.

Each investment that ComEd plans helps ensure the safety, resiliency and security of the grid while meeting the demands of climate change, decarbonization and electrification, evolving customer needs, and increasing cyber and physical security threats – all with a focus on equity and affordability. Key areas of investment include:

  1. Improving service reliability and storm response: Upgrade and replace poor-performing or obsolete cable, wood poles and other equipment; trim or remove trees near power lines; and deploy advanced analytics that help prevent power outages and improve restoration of service to customers.
  2. Supporting the clean energy transition: Enable safe and effective electrification of vehicles, homes and industry through necessary upgrades to power lines and substations to meet increased electric demand and invest in technology needed to integrate large of amounts of clean energy securely, safely and efficiently.
  3. Improving coordination with communities: Enhance community resilience to storms and resource management for storm restoration.
  4. Ensuring all communities can access and benefit from clean energy: Expand programs to prepare local residents for good-paying clean energy jobs and use the advanced communication network to close the digital divide in under-resourced communities.

Bills Among Lowest in Nation; Record-Breaking Reliability

ComEd’s average total monthly customer bill of $93 is among the lowest in the nation today, and its residential customers’ bills are approximately 20 percent lower than the average in the 10 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. ComEd’s plans would result in an increase of about $4.25 in the average monthly residential bill annually from 2024 through 2027, for a total impact of $17 by 2027. At ComEd’s requested rate for 2027, the average residential bill would be less than even the average 2021 residential utility bill in more than half of U.S. states. The plans include an increase in annual delivery costs of $1.47 billion spread out over four years. The company is seeking ICC approval to defer 35 percent of the 2024 increase until 2026 to smooth the transition for ComEd customers.

Maintaining a highly reliable grid with fewer and shorter power outages will continue to create savings for customers. ComEd’s reliability is among the best of all large U.S. electric companies and was better in 2022 than in any prior year on record. Since ComEd started smart grid improvements in 2012, it has improved overall reliability by more than 80 percent, helping customers avoid more than 19 million outages and save more than $3.3 billion in outage-related costs. As extreme weather events, electrification and other ComEd customer needs increase, the need to invest in the reliability of the system grows.

“We are encouraged that ComEd's plans will build greater resilience, improve the capacity to transition to clean energy and adapt to climate change impacts. We are pleased to support ComEd's multi-year grid plan," Neil C. James, Executive Director of Metropolitan Mayors Caucus.

Expansion of Renewables and Beneficial Electrification

ComEd estimates that solar power on its grid, including rooftop and community solar systems, will grow more than five times from almost 500 megawatts (MWs) today to 2,700 MWs by 2030. In 2022, ComEd received a record-setting 19,292 applications from residential, commercial and industrial customers to connect solar panels and other distributed energy resources to ComEd’s grid, a 74 percent increase from the prior year. Sustaining this growth and preparing to serve more electric vehicles, buildings and industries while maintaining grid safety and reliability for ComEd customers will require physical and digital infrastructure upgrades.

“EV adoption has grown significantly throughout the country, and specifically in Illinois, in recent years, and we expect this trend to accelerate in the near term,” said Matthew Deal, manager of utility policy at ChargePoint, the largest online network of independently owned EV charging stations. “ComEd’s proposed Grid Plan establishes a strong foundation to support the State’s goal for one million EVs on Illinois roads by 2030.”

Multi-Year Plans Support Jobs, Drive Economic Development

ComEd’s plan will support job creation as renewable energy rapidly expands and various sectors decarbonize. National economic and workforce applied research firm BW Research recently released a first-of-its-kind study that found that the state’s larger transition to clean energy could create a net increase of more than 41,000 jobs by 2030 and 150,000 jobs by 2050 in Illinois.

“Illinois leads the nation in moving to a clean energy economy built by union labor,” said Joe Duffy, executive director of labor coalition Climate Jobs Illinois. “ComEd's Grid Plan represents an important first step towards the clean jobs future.”

In addition, the grid plan advances ComEd’s leading role in supporting economic growth across northern Illinois. Companies continue to invest in the region thanks to the unparalleled access to clean, cost-effective and highly reliable power. As one key example, in the last two years, ComEd has brought 28 commercial projects online, including 12 data centers, representing 6,800 jobs and more than $3 billion in local investment.

“As businesses continue to increase their electrification needs, an affordable, reliable, and clean grid has never been more critical,” said Jack Lavin, President and CEO of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. “ComEd’s continued investments in a more sustainable system will keep Illinois competitive by providing a modernized grid that can attract businesses to our state and contribute to their performance.”

Performance Metrics Drive Accountability in Achieving Targets and Equity

ComEd’s plan is subject to ICC-approved performance metrics that set targets for grid performance and equity. They measure: continued improvement in reliability of the overall grid and greater resilience in environmental justice communities; reduction of peak electric demand on the grid; reduction of residential customer disconnections; reduction of the time it takes to connect distributed energy resources; and enhancement of service through the resolution of customer issues.

Metrics include ComEd’s spend with diverse suppliers and its impact on the economy. In 2021, ComEd spent $893 million – 42 percent of its total spend – with minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned companies, up from $253 million in 2012. ComEd works with more than 660 diversity-certified suppliers, including The Will Group, a contract manufacturing company.

“Over the past 10 years, we have partnered with ComEd on various projects that have transformed communities like the K-Town Business Center in North Lawndale,” said Joshua Davis, president of The Will Group. “ComEd's proposed grid plan is a community investment that aligns with our partnership's foundational shared quality of being transformative in the communities in which we operate, and we fully support it.”

To continue to support customers who are working to make ends meet, ComEd recently added three new customer-assistance programs to its existing offerings to help income-eligible families and individuals access assistance options and manage their electric bills.

ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 200 energy company with approximately 10 million electricity and natural gas customers – the largest number of customers in the U.S. ComEd powers the lives of more than 4 million customers across northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state’s population.
