ComEd Launches New Community Solar

ComEd announced the opening of the 75th community solar development in its service territory, a 2.495 megawatt (MW) Speedway Solar project 10 miles south of Joliet, Ill.

The solar project will provide more than 350 ComEd customers with the benefits of solar energy and savings on their energy bills.

“The completion of 75 community solar developments in our service territory is a major milestone on our path to a clean energy future,” said Scott Vogt, vice president of strategy and energy policy at ComEd in a statement. “Our collaboration with Summit Ridge Energy is expanding customer access to clean and affordable renewable energy and contributing to the goal of reducing carbon emissions in our communities.”

The Speedway Solar project includes more than 2,300 solar panels and occupies 31 acres on West Sharp Road in Elwood, Ill., about 60 miles southwest of Chicago. 

By the end of this year, ComEd expects to have doubled the number of community solar projects interconnected to its electric grid to more than 150, serving approximately 36,000 customers.
