ComEd Energy Efficiency Program Exceeds 2024 Goals of Saving Customers 13 Million MWhs of Electricity
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In 2024, the award-winning ComEd Energy Efficiency Program helped customers save over 13 million megawatt hours (MWhs) of electricity, surpassing state law requirements. Since 2012, installed energy-efficiency measures have continued to deliver savings. This resulted in nearly $1.3 billion in electric bill savings for customers last year, according to ComEd. The energy-saving results are based on an independent evaluation of the ComEd program conducted by Guidehouse, a global consulting and managed services provider. With the average monthly residential customer bill in the ComEd service territory projected to increase by approximately $10.60 in June, the result of the annual PJM Interconnection capacity auction held last year, the evaluation shows the ComEd program continues to effectively assist customers in managing their energy consumption and maintaining control over electricity costs. 'ComEd recognizes the challenge posed by rising supply costs effective in June,' said Melissa Washington, senior vice president of customer operations and strategic initiatives for ComEd. 'Although we can't control this increase, we offer energy-efficiency options to help customers manage their energy costs and connect them to grants and bill-support options. The fact that customers are taking advantage of these options highlights their importance.' The ComEd Energy Efficiency Program, funded in accordance with state law, offers services, incentives, and rebates to assist families and businesses in reducing costs and improving energy usage. In 2024, the program: provided ComEd residential and business customers with over $277 million in incentives through rebates and discounts on energy-efficiency measures and projects. increased the comfort and efficiency of more than 53,000 multi-family units by installing insulation, air sealing, heat pumps, and other measures at no cost to the residents. saved business customers more than 754,000 MWhs of electricity, amounting to over $79 million in bill savings, with an estimated total savings of 9.6 million MWh over the expected life of those measures, totaling more than $1 billion. saved residential customers over 1 million MWhs of electricity, resulting in over $170 million in bill savings, with an estimated total savings of 13.2 million MWh over the expected life of those measures, totaling nearly $2.2 billion. enabled over 161,000 income-eligible customers to save more than 730,000 MWhs, equating to nearly $123 million in annual bill savings. Income-eligible customers are also expected to realize estimated total savings of 10 million MWhs over the life of these measures, totaling more than $1.6 billion. 'By taking advantage of energy efficiency programs, customers can meaningfully reduce their energy bills,' said Paige Knutsen, executive director of the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA). 'Energy efficiency programs support thousands of strong, local jobs and help make our communities' homes and businesses more comfortable and resilient.' Since 2008, the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program, one of the largest and longest-running of its kind, has saved customers over $11 billion on electric bills and more than 99 million megawatt-hours of electricity. This is equivalent to: avoiding over 74 billion pounds of carbon emissions, removing nearly 8 million cars from the road, and planting about 34 million acres of trees. ComEd also provides various bill-assistance options, such as budget billing, payment arrangements, and federal grants through LIHEAP. So far this year, ComEd has helped over 114,000 customers access nearly $22 million in financial assistance and other support programs. Customers can visit to find both energy-efficiency and bill-assistance options for which they may qualify.

AI and Data Centers Reshape Utility Priorities
Annual State and Future of the Power Industry report reveals how utilities are adapting infrastructure to meet rising demand and energy transition goals MCLEAN, Va., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. power industry is poised for a transformative year ahead, as rising energy demand from AI and data centers, coupled with new energy policies at the federal level, create a complex and evolving operating environment. That's according to the 2025 edition of State and Future of the Power Industry, a survey and report that's published jointly by Guidehouse and Public Utilities Fortnightly and gathers insights from more than 300 utility executives and energy sector leaders. Now in its 10th year, the survey reveals a utility sector that is increasingly bullish and proactive, doubling down on core priorities like reliability and resilience in the face of intensifying demand from AI and data centers. After years of flat or declining loads, utilities are now planning for sustained growth—prompting a renewed emphasis on domestic baseload resources such as natural gas and nuclear. "The insights from this year's survey show an industry navigating a pivotal moment," said Michelle Fay, Partner and Global Energy Providers Lead at Guidehouse. "The surge in AI-driven energy demands and data center loads has highlighted the urgency for utilities to prioritize resilient, flexible infrastructure. By fostering collaboration with public stakeholders and regulators, utilities can proactively tackle these challenges to ensure a stable and reliable energy future for all." Key findings from the State and Future of the Power Industry report include: 95% of respondents identified either the new administration's evolving policy direction or surging load growth as the most disruptive force facing the sector this year. 61% said their systems can absorb some increased load, but reliability concerns will limit gains, while more than a quarter of respondents believe grid infrastructure is not ready for the projected demand. The top-cited longer-term threats are aging infrastructure (40%), climate-related events (35%), and energy inequity and affordability (25%). When asked about priorities for future infrastructure investment, 62% pointed to storm-hardened, self-healing, resilient grids—up from 57% in 2024. Despite the pressures, long-term energy goals remain intact, according to the report. Many respondents cited state mandates, regulatory pathways, and strong public support as stabilizing forces, suggesting that progress will continue even if federal incentives shift. "There's growing urgency around infrastructure modernization and expansion, but utilities are wisely avoiding overcommitment to short-term trends," said Ted Walker, Partner with the energy providers practice at Guidehouse. "They are prioritizing the development of resilient and flexible systems that can adapt to the evolving demands of their customers, ensuring stability and reliability—no matter how the future unfolds." About Guidehouse Guidehouse is a global advisory, technology, and managed services firm delivering value to commercial businesses and federal, state, and local governments.

Celonis Showcases Latest Process Intelligence and AI Innovations at Next 2025
AgentC and Orchestration Engine let companies orchestrate AI agents and feed them the Process Intelligence that AI needs to improve and automate processes effectively. New Celonis Solution Suites put Process Intelligence and AI to work in Supply Chain, Sustainability, Finance and the Front Office with comprehensive packages of expertise and technology from Celonis and its global partner ecosystem. Multiple enhancements make the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform faster, easier to use and more integrated with the tools people use every day. MUNICH & NEW YORK, May 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celonis, a global leader in Process Mining, today at its Celonis:Next event, demonstrated how its Process Intelligence (PI) platform enables companies to maximize the ROI from their enterprise AI deployments—a necessity for success in a future where AI agents work alongside and support humans. Because just as humans need the right information to do their jobs, AI needs to understand the business. With updates to its AgentC suite, the acquisition of Orchestration Engine, and multiple platform advancements, Celonis showed how it provides the intelligence companies need to build effective AI agents, helps them orchestrate end-to-end business processes, and simplifies the deployment of PI and AI across the enterprise. "AI is great for everyday tasks, like writing emails. But to provide maximum value for business, it needs to do things like telling you which customer deliveries are at risk and take automated action to reroute deliveries and notify logistics partners," said Alex Rinke, co-CEO and co-founder of Celonis. "Celonis Process Intelligence makes this possible. It provides AI with the process knowledge and business context to make it effective in accomplishing business-critical tasks, like mitigating supply chain disruptions, optimizing inventory, and managing tariffs. That's why we strongly believe that for enterprise use cases, 'there's no AI without PI.'" PI + AI = Maximum ROI The Process Intelligence Graph (PI Graph), which sits at the heart of the Celonis platform, brings together process data and business context to create a living digital twin of business operations. Celonis AgentC, a suite of AI agent tools, integrations, and partnerships, feeds the Process Intelligence from the PI Graph to AI agents, whether customers build them in leading AI platforms or leverage prebuilt agents from Celonis and its partners. Following the launch of AgentC at Celosphere in October 2024, the company unveiled significant upgrades to AgentC just six months later at Celonis:Next, including an extended Process Intelligence API that makes it easier to securely share PI context, metrics, and recommended actions with AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot Studio, Amazon Bedrock, or Salesforce Agentforce. But AI agents are just the latest among many tools that companies are using to automate and streamline tasks. Modern business processes involve an increasingly intricate web of system- and application-level automations, workflow automations, RPA bots, and manual activities that span multiple systems. But companies lack the ability to oversee and control all of these tools. Celonis Orchestration Engine provides an intelligent orchestration layer that connects and coordinates tasks in a given process across all tools, systems and departments. Leveraging real-time Process Intelligence, companies can observe process workflows live and direct processes toward the outcomes they want to achieve. Orchestration Engine gives a new level of control and agility to companies as they adapt their workflows to an ever-changing world. Celonis has acquired Orchestration Engine from its partner Emporix and fully integrated it with the Celonis platform. Celonis also announced enhancements to the tools that help customers build AI capabilities on Celonis, including: Process Copilots in GA: Celonis Process Copilots are now generally available and can be used in collaboration tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams. Now Celonis' customers' employees can interact with their processes in their regular workspaces and get answers fast about what's working and what blockers need their attention. Annotation Builder in GA: The Celonis Annotation Builder, a no-code GenAI tool for recommending decisions, is now generally available. Static dashboards are a thing of the past — now Celonis analytics views show employees AI-generated recommendations for how to address issues and improve processes. "Celonis' AI capabilities have fundamentally improved our inventory management and maintenance response," said Brian Dodson, Business Process Improvement Manager and Celonis Center of Excellence lead at Smurfit Westrock. "Our plant technicians can now ask their Process Copilot to locate and arrange transfers of spare parts from other plants, minimizing disruption and maximizing value by keeping our operations running smoothly." Celonis Solution Suites + Partner Apps: Everything enterprises need to leverage PI + AI To enable faster deployment of PI and AI across every department in the enterprise, thereby accelerating process improvement and reducing time to value, Celonis introduced Celonis Solution Suites—comprehensive packages that combine connectors to critical systems, pre-defined process data and business context, AI-powered capabilities, and pre-built apps. Today, four Solutions Suites have been launched: Supply Chain Solution Suite Finance Solution Suite Front Office Solution Suite Sustainability Solution Suite Celonis Solution Suites are already being used by leading consumer goods companies to deliver the best customer experience, even in the face of today's supply chain disruption, complexities, and growing cost pressures. Celonis helped one organization quantify how many customer orders were being automatically rejected due to minimum order quantity thresholds. With the right insights, those orders could be bundled and filled instead of being rejected. Enhancements across the Celonis platform Celonis has made its Process Intelligence platform faster and easier to use with multiple advancements, including: Process Intelligence Graph expansion: Celonis has expanded the PI Graph's pre-built objects and events catalogue. Long-time Celonis customers can bring their existing data models into the PI Graph faster and simpler. And new version control features make it easier for customers to manage their individual PI Graph. New Celonis Process Management API integration: Celonis Process Management unites process mining and modeling, bringing data on how processes should run, and how they actually run, together. With a new direct API integration, companies can now import process models into the Celonis Process Adherence Manager, getting unparalleled detail and accuracy in process adherence assessment—a capability unmatched in the market. Microsoft Fabric integration: Celonis Process Intelligence is now available as a workload in Microsoft Fabric. Celonis' zero-copy integration with Fabric and the ability to embed Celonis Views into Fabric lets Microsoft users seamlessly embed process intelligence into solutions they're building. Process Mining innovation: A new event log builder lets users create, modify and explore event logs on the fly directly in Celonis Views without having to go back to the data model, write lines of SQL code, or create new sub-processes. More intuitive and customizable Studio Views: New scalable View Modules make sure changes made to one View Module are automatically replicated anywhere it's used. Performing deeper analysis is faster with new process visualizations and enhanced filtering options. And new scheduled reports let users share insights with key stakeholders on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. New PQL Editor: PQL is the language of Process Intelligence. The new PQL Editor is business context aware and continuously in sync with customer Knowledge Models. "Alongside our partners, we continuously invest in our platform," said Dan Brown, Chief Product Officer at Celonis. "With AgentC and our Process Intelligence API, we're helping customers maximize the ROI of their AI deployments. Orchestration Engine enables stronger oversight and control of process workflows. And Solution Suites shorten time to value by making it faster and easier to deploy PI and AI across the enterprise." Most of the newly announced capabilities, including Process Copilot and Annotation Builder, are available for deployment immediately. Companies can explore these features and engage with the Celonis community at upcoming events like the Celonis Process Intelligence Days, Celonis:Next Product Forums, and Celosphere in Munich, November 4th-5th.
