Key Findings

• Exelon’s nuclear headquarters and the operations of the 11 reactors result in a total tax impact of approximately $1.4 billion to the local, state and federal governments each year. 
• Without the carbon-free electricity produced by these nuclear plants, an additional 80 million metric tons of carbon dioxide would be released annually, the equivalent of the emissions from more than 15 million cars each year. 
• In addition to the reliable, emission-free electricity that the plants generate and the jobs and economic stimulus they provide, the company’s involvement in its local communities makes them significant economic contributors to Illinois and the Midwest.
