Exelon operates the cleanest fleet of power plants among the nation’s largest power producers and its utilities rank among the most energy efficient in the nation, according to two recent industry reports.

Based on U.S. Energy Information Administration and Environmental Protection Agency data, the 2017 Benchmarking Air Emissions of the 100 Largest Electric Power Producers report indicates that Exelon’s nuclear, natural gas and renewable energy plants continue to have by far the lowest rate of carbon dioxide emissions among the 20 largest privately held or investor-owned energy producers.

The next best-ranking company had an emissions rate more than six times higher than Exelon’s. Exelon operates the nation’s largest nuclear fleet and is a major solar and wind energy producer.

Three of Exelon’s utilities— ComEd in Illinois, BGE in Maryland and Pennsylvania’s PECO — were ranked in the 2017 American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy report of the top 50 most energy-efficient utilities in the nation.

Exelon owns the Quad Cities Generating Station near Cordova, where it employs about 800 people.
