Last month, D.C. scored a big victory when the Public Service Commission
unanimously rejected Chicago-based energy giant Exelon’s attempt to take
over Pepco. Their decision made it clear that this merger is
NOT in the public interest. But our fight
isn’t quite over.
Exelon has indicated they will try and push their bad deal through.
Their first key step would be reaching a back room deal with Mayor
Bowser and the D.C. Government. We won’t let that happen!
Next Thursday at noon, join us in front of the Wilson Building to show
Mayor Bowser that we stand together against this bad deal – and we won’t
let Exelon sneak it under the door at the last minute.
- WHAT: Rally to keep Exelon out of D.C. (and
our region)!
- WHEN: Thursday, September 17th at noon
- WHERE: In front of the Wilson Building at
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
- WHO: The Power DC coalition, you and all of
your friends who live or work in downtown D.C.
- WHY: We need all hands on deck to keep our
victory intact—and to protect our electricity bills and our progress
on clean energy from Exelon’s top-down, anti-renewable energy,
nuclear-driven business model.

Just since August 24, hundreds of letters have been sent to Mayor Bowser
urging her to stand firm—now it’s time to show our strength. We can
protect D.C. residents from higher bills and keep our region heading
toward cleaner, more efficient power.

America’s Energy Future: Carbon, Competition, and Kilowatts: An Address
by John Rowe, President and CEO, Exelon
Corporation
On February 12, the Brookings Institution will host John W. Rowe,
chairman, chief executive officer and president of Exelon
Corporation, the country’s largest electric
and gas utility and largest nuclear operator, for a discussion of
critical energy challenges facing the United States.
Rowe is regarded as one of the utility industry’s leading voices on
energy and public policy. He has a long history of participating in
collaborative efforts with policymakers and key stakeholders in
fashioning pragmatic solutions to energy challenges, at both the federal
and state levels. Rowe has served as a co-chair of the National
Commission on Energy Policy as well as the Edison Electric Institute; he
currently serves as chair of the Nuclear Energy Institute.
Rowe will share his views and recommendations on the pressing and
inter-related challenges that must be addressed to meet this country’s
growing energy needs in an environmentally responsible manner,
including: global climate change and emerging federal legislative energy
initiatives; the case for competitive wholesale markets in the electric
industry and the risks of returning to traditional state regulation; the
need for more low-carbon nuclear power and the roadblocks to its
expanded use; and general observations on managing energy politics at
the national, state, and community levels.
After the program, Mr. Rowe will take audience questions.
