ComEd, Solar Landscape and Public Storage Announce 60 New Rooftop Solar Sites Planned for Northern Illinois
New community solar sites to add 44 MW to the grid and increasing affordable energy access for 6,150 households
ComEd yesterday joined Solar Landscape and Public Storage to announce plans to develop 60 rooftop community solar projects —with 10 already livened—across northern Illinois in the next two years, marking one of the largest community solar installations in Illinois. Together, the projects will deliver 44 Megawatts (MW) of community solar energy, boosting grid capacity and creating opportunities for customers to lower their energy costs.
ComEd has one of the largest community solar portfolios in the country and anticipates having over 400 sites completed by the end of 2026. To date, more than 1.8 GW of DERs have been connected, making Illinois the leading midwestern state for DER capacity.
"With demand for power rising faster than supply, community solar sites like this one offer a clean energy solution that can help close the supply gap and offer bill savings for customers,” said ComEd President and CEO Gil Quiniones. “By year end, we expect to have some 400 community solar installations across ComEd’s northern Illinois territory, making this region a national leader in developing a renewable resource that has a key role to play in delivering clean, affordable power over the long term.”
