ComEd joined business and community leaders to break ground on a significant expansion of an electrical substation located in Elk Grove Village, 1500 Midway Court., last Friday. The expansion of this substation will provide increased transmission capacity and enhanced reliability to serve existing business customers in the growing northwest suburban business corridor and greater Western O’Hare region of Illinois. The project is part of more than $1 billion in planned investment by ComEd to enhance its transmission infrastructure in this area over the next few years as it prepares to meet the evolving power demands of its customers, including the recent increase in large commercial projects in the area. This milestone was celebrated by remarks from ComEd and key stakeholders, such as President and CEO of ComEd Gil Quiniones, Mayor of Elk Grove Village Craig Johnson, Chief Growth Officer of World Business Chicago Kyle Schulz, and VP of Administration at Ruiz Construction Systems Brayant Ruiz.
