In support of small-business owners challenged by rising operational costs, ComEd is celebrating an important milestone: More than 100,000 small businesses across northern Illinois have participated in free facility assessments that identify opportunities to save both money and energy. In recognition of National Small Business Week, May 3-9, ComEd joined small-business owners and local elected officials to call attention to the small-business offering available through the ComEd Energy Efficiency (EE) Program. Through these offerings, which include facility assessments and incentives to offset the cost of energy-efficiency improvements, businesses have saved an average of $262.8 million in annual energy costs while receiving $607 million in incentives. Since 2015, both small businesses and public-sector customers have saved 2.2 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy, which helps avoid nearly 1.7 billion pounds of carbon emissions that lead to climate change. A full list of qualifying small businesses and the EE offerings available to them can be found at ComEd.com/SmallBiz.
