Protect DC Solar: Help Stop the Exelon Merger!
Guest blog: This is a guest blog from Anya Schoolman, President of DC Sun. Her letter is reprinted here in full.
As you have probably heard, Exelon has plans to take control of Pepco, our local electricity utility.
This deal would make Exelon the biggest power distributor in America. And they’re not interested in working with local stakeholders to bring more solar to the District. (Exelon has a history of undermining local stakeholders and opposing renewables.)
As frustrating as Pepco can be, Exelon would be even worse.
DC SUN has worked hard since 2007 to level the playing field for solar. This merger would undermine our hard-won gains and threaten the future of solar in DC.
We are therefore calling on the Public Service Commission to block the Exelon merger.
It’s important that the PSC stand up for the public interest, now more than ever.
