This Lineworker Appreciation Day, we're recognizing the lineworkers who help power northern Illinois every day, rain or shine, snow or heat.

Whether they're restoring power after storms, working underground, building new infrastructure or maintaining equipment on blue-sky days, their commitment to safety and hard work keep our communities connected.

Thank you for all you do. 💙⚡

Today, @ComEd energized two new substations in LaSalle and Woodford Counties, helping power communities in the coming years. Proud of our team for delivering 4+ months ahead of schedule. The future of energy is being built in Illinois.

[ComEd @ComEd]

We’re expanding the transmission network to meet growing energy demand, strengthen reliability and make it easier for renewable energy resources to connect to the grid.

Two new substations have been commissioned in LaSalle and Woodford Counties. These substations will eventually allow over 550 MW of wind generation to come online. That’s enough to power 264,000 homes annually! https://t.co/xY5Czfwa3z

ComEd is launching its first Virtual Power Plant in 2027, connecting customer-owned energy to support the grid when demand is highest. Customers with battery storage can earn incentives while helping keep energy reliable and affordable. Learn more: https://t.co/wwBpbzUNWH
