Commonwealth Edison Company

Commonwealth Edison Company in Chicago offers its Least Cost Planning load reduction program. In this program, businesses agree to curtail or reduce their electricity consumption to prescribed limits when the utility requests it. They are compensated with a special electricity rate that is performance-based. The worst performance during any curtailment period becomes the base for electricity charges.

The reactor to be discussed is the large FWR manufactured by the Westinghouse Electric Company, which has been built for the Diablo Canyon station of the Pacific Gas Electric Company, the Donald C. Cook station of American Electric Power Corporation, and the Zion station of Commonwealth Edison Company. Rated capacities of 3250 MW (thermal) and 1060 MW (electric) have been used. The following brief description of this reactor was abstracted from the Safety Analysis Report of the Doiudd C. Cook station [Al]. 

The first commercial-size BWR was the Dresden Nuclear Power Plant. This plant was owned by the Commonwealth Edison Company and built by the General Electric Company at Dresden, Illinois (about 50 miles southwest of Chicago). The plant was a 200-MWe facility which operated from 1960 to 1978.
