ComEd's parent company is Exelon, the largest nuclear power utility in the country, with two-dozen reactors in its fleet, including 11 still operating in IL. In 2016, Exelon's lobbying juggernaut rammed a $2.35 billion, decade-long bailout for its old reactors through the IL state legislature, with Madigan's support.
