Exelon Stock Price, News & Analysis

ComEd (NASDAQ: EXC) announced the livening of an expanded 765 kV Wilton Center substation in Will County, Illinois, a transmission upgrade built to enable the largest cluster of onshore wind and solar projects in Illinois to interconnect beginning in 2026. The expansion increases the substation yard by 50% to 1.5 million sq ft, adds 765 kV breakers and protection equipment, and includes a new detention pond holding 2.8 million gallons of stormwater.

The upgraded Wilton Center will support five wind farms and two solar farms with combined output of up to 2,450 MW. Construction reused about 80,000 tons of topsoil and 90,000 tons of on-site clay to reduce hauling; Burns & McDonnell served as engineer and Lindblad Construction led build efforts.

NextEra Energy Transmission and Exelon (EXC) were recommended by PJM Interconnection on Dec. 8, 2025, to deliver an approximately 220-mile 765-kV high-voltage transmission line serving Pennsylvania and parts of West Virginia.

The PJM Board will cast a final vote in early 2026.
