Strategy & Planning

“State regulatory commissions can be demanding in how they evaluate proposed mergers, such as by applying the public interest standard and distributing net synergy benefits (after costs-to-achieve) between customers and shareholders.”

“Investing for more reliable, resilient power grids, using the most advanced tools and techniques, must now be considered standard operating procedure for power companies.”

“The multi-year rate plans meet a number of objectives for us. We can say upfront, ‘Commission and customer, this is how we plan to invest in the infrastructure over three years, over five years. Hold us accountable.’ That creates certainty, transparency.”

“We have a Reinvent website, where employees can submit their thoughts and ideas in support of our business operations or for the betterment of our customers, which are then evaluated and possibly put into our business.”

“It’s less about how to drive that culture and more about how to unleash it. The passion is in all of our employees, and every one of those employees says, ‘There’s a better way.’”

Conversations with Exelon’s Chief Operating Officer Mike Innocenzo; Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer Sunny Elebua; and Chief External Affairs Officer Colette Honorable.

“We are seeing more constraints from a resource perspective. There is a great opportunity to continue to collaborate with our elected officials, state regulators, and economic development state agencies, to improve processes to gain approval for building out necessary infrastructure to connect new customers.”

“In January of 2025, we’ll be hosting that educational meeting in Oklahoma City because our MARC colleague and good friend Bob Anthony will be ending his term with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission as the longest-serving Commissioner in the country.”

“I increasingly see a need for SEARUC and other regional organizations to meet more frequently and have substantive, detailed, Commissioner-only meetings where we can discuss issues of common concern that we need to focus attention upon.”

Conversations with the President of SEARUC and a Commissioner on the North Carolina Utilities Commission, Floyd McKissick; and incoming President of MARC and Commissioner on the Indiana Utilities Regulatory Commission, Sarah Freeman. SEARUC is NARUC’s division for the southeast and MARC is the division for the midwest.
