* This is very sudden…
Exelon Corporation (Nasdaq: EXC) today announced that it has appointed Calvin G. Butler Jr., CEO of Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (“BGE”), as Interim CEO of Exelon Utilities, effective immediately.
This appointment follows the retirement of Anne Pramaggiore, Senior Executive Vice President and CEO of Exelon Utilities, which is also effective immediately. Mr. Butler will continue to serve as CEO of BGE. The CEOs of Exelon’s other utilities – Joseph Dominguez, CEO of ComEd, Michael A. Innocenzo, CEO of PECO, and David M. Velazquez, CEO of Pepco Holdings – will report to Mr. Butler.
In addition, Exelon Utility CEO staff heads Val Jensen, Carim Khouzami and Mike Kormos will also report to Mr. Butler moving forward.
Pramaggiore is a former ComEd CEO who was promoted just last year to the $5.9 million job. She had been with ComEd since 1998, and was promoted to COO of the company in 2009.
Exelon, of course, has twice admitted to being subpoenaed by the feds and the company recently brought in some outsiders to oversee “cooperation and compliance with the subpoena.”

Hmmm… fallout from the fed investigation?

Good. Maybe next time don’t ask for two bailouts in a matter of 3 years…..

I guarantee she did not “retire immediately” because she asked for too many bailouts. That’s how you get promoted at Exelon, not fired.

So, does Exelon Official A stand for “Anne”?

Not a great ending to a pretty distinguished career.
What the heck happened here?

Does this mean the Tom Cullerton(D)villa park Deb Conroy(D)villa park November 7 2019 awards ceremony at the union league club ..SPONSERD by ComEd is cancelled I hope not. This is about to get good.

I’ve always believed that if Madigan goes down it will be because someone in the private sector doesn’t have anything to lose by singing to the Feds. Ms. Pramaggiore might now be that person if she is given immunity.

Trib story this morning says a source says she is a focus of the probe, so one of the letters is likely her.
