ComEd Marks $350 Million in Distributed Generation Rebates with Streamwood Park District Solar Installation

Village of Streamwood’s park district joins thousands of customers reducing upfront solar costs to realize long-term bill savings through ComEd rebates

ComEd today highlighted the growing momentum of customer-owned renewable energy across northern Illinois, announcing that its Distributed Generation (DG) program has exceeded $350 million in rebates and incentives while presenting the Streamwood Park District with more than $94,000 to support its solar installation at the Park Place Family Recreation Center. To date, ComEd has 1.8 GW of distributed generation on its grid.

Established under the Future Energy Jobs Act and later expanded and enhanced by the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, the DG rebate program helps reduce barriers to clean energy adoption by offsetting the cost of installing solar, wind and battery systems for both community solar projects, which send electricity directly to the power grid for use by many customers, and customer-sited projects, which generate electricity on a home, business, or facility and is used primarily by that customer to reduce their electric bill.
