Energy company preparing for the jumpstart of
solar development in Illinois
ComEd is sponsoring a three-day conference, The Fundamentals of
Community Solar Design and Implementation, at the Millennium
Knickerbocker Hotel from August 22 through August 24. Solar
industry experts, community solar project developers, fellow energy
companies and community-based solar advocates are participating in
the workshop-style conference, which will address the basics of
community solar design and how projects can be financed and
implemented.
ComEd’s sponsorship of the conference is part of its commitment
to supporting the integration of solar into the grid and the clean
energy choices its customers want. The Next Generation Energy Plan,
which was filed for consideration in Springfield this spring and is
supported by ComEd and its sister company Exelon Generation, would
jumpstart private rooftop solar development in Illinois, enabling
the development of community solar and providing $250M in funding
for low-income community solar.
“As we prepare for the growth of solar in Illinois, we are proud
to be supporting the kind of learning and collaboration taking
place at this EUCI conference,” said Fidel Marquez, senior vice
president of Governmental and External Affairs, ComEd. “We
regularly hear from and work with community partners who want to
bring solar into their neighborhoods, so we are eager to learn with
them from others who have successfully brought community solar
projects to fruition.”
Topics that will be discussed by program participants include
designing a community solar framework, the roles of utilities,
solar developers and consumers, and identifying the metrics for
success. The conference also incorporates a focus on low-income
community solar, with a session highlighting models and tactics
that have proven successful.
Several ComEd leaders and policy experts will be attending the
conference, learning alongside local community leaders who will
also be participating.
