We Value A Healthy Environment


Each year electric utilities in Illinois spend millions of dollars to protect, preserve and restore Illinois' environment. A portion of these funds is used to comply with hundreds of state and federal laws and regulations. The rest goes beyond regulatory compliance to environmental enhancement of our many natural resources.
Cleaner Air

  • We're using a broad mix of clean fuels to generate electricity and are leaders in developing new ways to produce electricity more cleanly and efficiently.
  • We lead all industries in taking voluntary actions to mitigate greenhouse gases.
Cleaner Water

  • We're highly regulated by the Clean Water Act and have a strong record of compliance.
  • We restore aquatic habitats.
  • We're preserving, enhancing and creating valuable wetlands.
Cleaner Lands

  • We're carefully managing thousands of acres of land and sharing those natural resources with the public.
  • We provide valuable habitat for wildlife and plants.
  • We're restoring hundreds of acres of land across Illinois through the voluntary cleanup of former manufactured gas plant sites.
