Summary
Exelon Corporation's subsidiary, PECO Energy Company, has withdrawn its previously filed electric and gas rate proceedings with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC). This decision impacts expected capital investments and future regulatory filings, with PECO indicating that decisions will be guided by customer affordability, system reliability, and ongoing stakeholder engagement. Concurrently, the Maryland General Assembly has passed the Maryland Utility RELIEF Act, which, if signed into law, will alter the regulatory framework for cost recovery for Exelon's Maryland utilities: BGE, Pepco, and DPL. In response to these regulatory developments, Exelon plans to redeploy and delay certain capital projects and implement operational efficiencies. Despite these adjustments, the company reaffirms its 2026 Adjusted operating earnings guidance of $2.81-$2.91 per share and its expectation for cumulative annualized Adjusted operating earnings growth from 2025 to 2029 to be near the top end of its 5-7% range. Investors should note that Exelon will provide further updates during its first quarter 2026 earnings call on May 6, 2026.
