- ComEd and Ferrero mark major energy efficiency gains in Franklin Park today
Exelon Corporation (EXC) stock traded at $43.50, down 2.03%, as ComEd highlighted major savings from Ferrero’s Illinois efficiency work. The update linked lower power use with reduced costs and measurable environmental gains at the Franklin Park manufacturing facility. It also placed ComEd’s Energy Efficiency Program at the center of Exelon’s customer savings story across northern Illinois.

The project adds business context for Exelon because ComEd serves a large industrial and commercial customer base. Many manufacturers face higher operating costs, and energy upgrades can protect margins without cutting production. The Ferrero update gives ComEd a clear case study for its efficiency program.
ComEd Program Delivers Measurable Savings
ComEd and Ferrero marked a long-running partnership built around energy upgrades and daily operating changes in northern Illinois. The work began at Ferrero’s Franklin Park facility in 2020 and continued through several focused efficiency projects. As a result, Ferrero saved nearly 8.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity at the busy manufacturing site.
The lower power use produced annual bill savings of $777,000 for the sweet-packaged food manufacturer. ComEd awarded Ferrero $366,000 in incentives for completed energy-saving projects at the facility. These incentives helped offset costs tied to lighting, temperature controls, and wider facility improvements across operations.
Ferrero also used ComEd’s Strategic Energy Management offering for large commercial customers seeking lower energy use. Through SEM, ComEd reviewed facility equipment and operations to find practical energy-saving opportunities across the plant. Then employee training helped the facility add smarter energy practices into normal daily work routines.
Ferrero Project Supports Cost Control And Emissions Cuts
The Franklin Park work reduced electricity demand while supporting Ferrero’s wider sustainability goals and operational discipline. The environmental impact equals planting more than 2,800 acres of trees across comparable land. It also equals removing more than 680 gas-powered cars from roads for one full year.
The company used lighting improvements and temperature control upgrades to cut waste across the facility. These changes helped Ferrero manage operating costs while improving resilience at an active manufacturing site. The project showed how targeted utility programs can support industrial users without major disruption.
Ferrero’s facility plays a local role as both a manufacturer and an employer in Franklin Park. The energy upgrades carry importance beyond the company’s internal cost structure. The work also supports cleaner operations in a community that hosts industrial and commercial activity.
Exelon Unit Highlights Broader Efficiency Record
ComEd operates as a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation and serves northern Illinois. The utility powers more than 4.2 million customers across the region through a broad electricity network. That service area represents about 70% of Illinois’ population and gives ComEd a large operating base.
Since 2008, the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program has delivered more than $13 billion in customer bill savings. It has also reduced electricity use by nearly 112 million megawatt-hours across participating customers. Those savings compare with preventing nearly 84 billion pounds of carbon emissions.
ComEd says large business customers using more than 5,000 megawatt-hours yearly can use the SEM offering. The program gives companies a structured path to identify wasted energy and lower operating costs. For Exelon, the Ferrero project adds a concrete example of savings-driven customer engagement.
The update keeps Exelon tied to practical efficiency results rather than broad sustainability claims. It also shows how utility incentives can support manufacturers during cost-heavy operating cycles. The ComEd-Ferrero project strengthens the business case for energy management across Illinois industries.
