In context
“a total of $41.7 billion over the next four years for the benefit of our customers. This reflects $1.1 billion of project deferrals and reductions in PICO and BGE distribution, coupled with $1.5 billion of incremental transmission investment to support project realignment and the interconnection of data center customers that have signed Transmission Security Agreements. Despite the rebalance of capital, we are maintaining a revised annualized rate base growth of 7.9% over the next four years, reflecting the substantial and accelerating transmission growth opportunities we are experiencing across our service territory. The need for additional transmission infrastructure is real, and we are witnessing this growth firsthand, driven by reliability requirements and large load interconnections. We now anticipate transmission rate base growing at 16% through 2029 and are maintaining our previous upside guidance of $12 billion to $17 billion, which does not include our recent competitive transmission bids in MISO or potential solar or storage opportunities. Having executed within 2% of our plan since 2023, we remain confident in our ability to deliver this next phase of growth through disciplined execution, advancing important economic and energy priorities while keeping customer affordability front and center through a continued focus on cost management. We are confident in our ability to drive expense growth well below inflation. In addition to nearly flat expense growth from 2024 to 2026, we are now targeting no more than 2% adjusted O&M growth through 2029. We remain committed to managing the portfolio as one Exelon Corporation and are leveraging our dedicated team to identify another $350 million of savings in 2027. Our revised plan incorporates cost reductions achieved through accelerating AI and technology transformation, prioritizing”
