Featuring Anne Pramaggiore, senior executive vice president and CEO at Exelon Utilities.

The landscape for utilities is rapidly changing, with states moving forward on myriad climate-related policies—from mandating subsidies for nuclear power generation to offering credits to homeowners who contribute solar energy to the grid. As traditional electricity distributors confront these changes, they do so while also facing new competition from distributed energy sources like rooftop solar. What challenges and opportunities do these changes present for utilities?

Join us for a conversation with Anne Pramaggiore, senior executive vice president and CEO of Exelon Utilities.

Anne Pramaggiore is Senior Executive Vice President and CEO of Exelon Utilities. She is responsible for Exelon’s utility businesses, which together form the nation’s largest electric and natural gas distribution company. The Exelon utilities provide about 22 million people across the District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania with electricity and natural gas service.

Prior to her current position, Pramaggiore was the first women to serve as president and CEO of Commonwealth Edison (ComEd), Illinois’ largest utility company delivering electricity to 4 million customers in Chicago and Northern Illinois. Pramaggiore has been recognized nationally as a leader in the evolving transformation of the energy industry. In 2017 she was named the Energy Thought Summit’s “Thought Leader of the Year,” and also that year was honored for her achievements by the Keystone Policy Center.

Pramaggiore joined ComEd in 1998 to work on the company’s transition to competitive energy markets under the Illinois Consumer Choice Law of 1997. In her role as ComEd’s lead lawyer and as head of Regulatory Policy, she led major policy work around the restructuring of the Illinois electric industry. In 2009 she was appointed as ComEd’s COO and became responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations on the electric grid and in customer operations.
