Due to what it says is rising interest in community and rooftop solar in its northern Illinois region, ComEd has updated its hosting capacity map for solar developers to help streamline the process and meet demand.
Last month, ComEd says it received 2,250 new applications to interconnect with its electric system, bringing the total applications received this year to 21,952.
The 1,976 Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems that ComEd completed in October represented 42 MW of DER generation capacity. There are 1,160 MW of DER interconnected to the ComEd system, including 460 MW from residential solar systems, 285 MW from community solar and 345 MW from commercial systems. This volume places a priority on providing solar developers access to current hosting capacity data, which is used to estimate the amount of DER that can be accommodated without major upgrades to the ComEd distribution system.
ComEd’s hosting capacity maps provide monthly estimates for distribution circuits at 34 kV and below that are sourced by a ComEd substation. The company also publishes hosting capacity maps for battery energy storage and for electric vehicle load, updated 20 times a year.
“Our updated hosting capacity map provides developers every month with near real-time information about solar projects in the development queue, which is key to identifying the best available location to interconnect their project to our grid,” says Mark Baranek, senior vice president of Technical Services, ComEd.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:
• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)
• Environmental collapse.
• Malicious use of AI.
• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.
• Nuclear war.
Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
