Project Overview

Exelon has joined the DOE Partnership for Energy Sector Climate Resilience to better understand the impacts of climate change on our systems, and to improve our resilience to climate change. To identify locations of our U. S. generation fleet regarding water stress regions we used the World Resources Institute (WRI) AqueDuct tool. The Executive Committee has established a Drought Monitoring Task Force that spans various business units and reports on an assessment of current …

Exelon has joined the DOE Partnership for Energy Sector Climate Resilience to better understand the impacts of climate change on our systems, and to improve our resilience to climate change. To identify locations of our U. S. generation fleet regarding water stress regions we used the World Resources Institute (WRI) AqueDuct tool. The Executive Committee has established a Drought Monitoring Task Force that spans various business units and reports on an assessment of current drought conditions and the impacts of the drought, both historical and potential as needed. The Drought Task Force recommends regulatory, operational, and technical solutions, and points out other regions of concern and potential impacts. Exelon has installed monitoring systems in areas of water stress with telemetry to increase data availability, trending and station response times to determine ambient thermal changes that may affect operations as well as potential discharge impacts on the watershed.
