The company announced the completion of the sale of Exelon Solutions to Ameresco, Inc., and the sale of its partnership interests in PECO TelCove to its partner for $49 million. Additionally, Exelon finalized the sale of Thermal Chicago Corporation, encompassing Exelon Thermal Technologies and Northwind Midway, to Macquarie Bank Limited for $134 million.
