Exelon CEO: Replacing nuclear with renewables, storage to meet carbon goals could cost Illinois $80B

Dive Brief: Achieving the same amount of zero emissions power through renewables and storage would be 12 times more expensive than continuing to run Illinois nuclear plants and cost the state s consumers $80 billion, Exelon CEO Chris Crane said during the company s Q1 earnings call on Wednesday. State and federal officials are exploring ways to keep nuclear plants open as they are considered a key part of any plan to decarbonize the power sector. However, a proposal from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D, to support Exelon s Byron and Dresden plants, is not adequate, Crane said. Crane dismissed the prospect that federal legislation could pass in time to prevent the closure of the Byron and Dresden plants, expressing more optimism in a state solution. We re confident that we ve got adequate support within the administration and within the legislature, and we ll see how it goes, he said.

CAPITOL RECAP: Governor s Office Unveils Energy Overhaul Bill

The governor’s office unveiled a 900-page energy overhaul bill Wednesday, accelerating a yearslong process which advocates hope will end in a comprehensive clean energy platform as the session nears its final month. The stated goal of the bill is to drive Illinois to 100 percent “clean” energy by 2050. That, Deputy Gov. Christian Mitchell said in an interview Wednesday, would include nuclear power as a major contributor. Another goal is to bring Illinois to 40 percent of its utility scale energy produced by renewables, such as wind and solar, by 2030. Right now, that number is around 8 percent. The bill contains some of the provisions put forth in other legislation, raising the rate cap on ratepayer bills for renewable projects from about 2 percent to 3.75 percent; ending formulaic rate increases for utilities immediately; and prohibiting natural gas companies from assessing a surcharge on bills starting January 2022.
