Revolution Brewing Receives $30,000 Rebate as ComEd Launches New Energy Efficiency Offering Designed to Help Breweries, Wineries and Distillers with Rising Energy Costs

ComEd Launches New Pilot to Help Small-Mid Sized Microbreweries Enhance Efficiency & Lower Energy Costs

ComEd today announced the launch of the ComEd Breweries Pilot, a new energy efficiency program designed to help breweries, distillers, and wineries reduce energy costs through free assessments with targeted, industry-specific solutions for energy-intensive operations. To mark the pilot’s launch, ComEd named Revolution Brewing, located in Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood, as the first participant. This announcement is the latest in Revolution’s ongoing clean-energy efforts. The Chicago-based brewery also received a Distributed Generation (DG) rebate of more than $30,000 to support the latest expansion of its rooftop solar array.

The ComEd Breweries Pilot focuses specifically on equipment and processes specific to brewing operations to discover ways to better manage energy use and save money on energy bills. The pilot takes a customer-centric approach to enrollment and delivery, focusing on the unique needs of producers across ComEd’s northern Illinois service territory, and is open to breweries, distilleries and wineries with a focus on those located in disadvantaged communities.
