What Isn’t Exelon Telling You about Its Corporate Bailout Legislation?

Posted in:

[The following is a paid advertisement.]

Exelon is already getting bailed out by the PJM auction and doesn’t need legislators to vote for a rate increase to bail them out a second time

• Exelon will receive hundreds of millions in new annual revenue through a revised PJM electric grid auction to be held later this summer.

Illinois ratepayers will be socked with a rate increase to pay for this new revenue.

Exelon is spending billions in other states – often in cash - so what are they planning to do with $1.6 billion from Illinois?

Exelon is spending $6.8 billion IN CASH to purchase Pepco Holdings.

• Exelon is offering more than $180 million in refunds, job training and renewable energy programs to Maryland and D.C. ratepayers as part of the Pepco takeover.

Exelon opposes subsidies and above-market contracts — except when they’re for Exelon

• “We’re saying we don’t want to be subsidized and no one should be subsidized in the competitive markets…” Exelon CEO Chris Crane, 5/13/14

• “Exelon has long believed that there is no need to promote subsidies for proven technologies at any cost, nor for electricity consumers or taxpayers to pay more than required for a clean electricity supply.” – Exelon Website

Just say no to the Exelon Bailout. Vote No on SB 1585/HB 3293.
