Beneficial Electrification Pilots

February 25, 2026 BE Pilot Update:

Below you will find an updated timeline for select BE Pilot RFPs and implementation plans:

Please note, the BE Pilot timeline above is subject to change.

We welcome all qualified vendors to bid on any of the BE Pilot RFPs if capable of providing exceptional implementation of the pilot plan(s). In addition to the implementation RFPs listed above, ComEd will release separate RFP(s) for independent evaluation services during the same procurement window.

RFP Bidding Process

To provide a bid to BE Pilot RFPs, you must email [email protected] listing the specific BE Pilot(s) of interest and email point of contact, by March 5. Only express interest if you are qualified (licensed) to complete work in Illinois. Then, you must verify registration in the ComEd Supply portal by March 6. 

To verify if your company has an account with Exelon you can contact GEP support at 732-307-8731 and request they review the system for any company accounts associated with your company email domain, or if you think you may have credentials, you can choose the forgot username and/or forgot password from the login page from the online sourcing site at smart.gep.com.

**Please note if you re-register in the system and have past sourcing events we will delete your old accounts and all associated information and keep the new account. Please confirm that you do not have an account before taking action.

The registration and questionnaire will take place within our secure portal, SMART by GEP, and works in either Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 11 and above or Microsoft Edge browsers only. To complete the process:

• Please visit exeloncorp.com/suppliers.
• Scroll down the page and select the option to REGISTER from the right-hand margin.
• The first page of the process will require you to enter company information including all applicable US Federal Tax IDs/EIN Number for your company section (applicable is defined as subsidiaries or branches that may work with Exelon and any of its entities).
• The second page contains the Vendor Affiliation Questionnaire.
• Once all questions have been answered, submit your response.
• Following the completion of both the company profile and the questionnaire you will receive a pop-up box instructing you to check your email for a link to complete the process. You must authenticate your profile by clicking the URL contained in the confirmation email.
• More information is available regarding the supplier registration process at exeloncorp.com/suppliers

ComEd has concluded its annual planning process for the BE pilots for the 2026 calendar year. Ideas will continue to be reviewed on a rolling basis; however, submissions received after December 15, 2025 will likely be considered during the 2027 annual planning cycle, which will occur in Q3/Q4 of 2026. Vendors who submitted ideas prior to December 15, 2025 will receive final responses on their ideas by January 2026. Please check back here for updates as ComEd is assessing pilot needs in response to emerging legislation and may release new opportunities before next fall. Thank you for your continued interest and participation in ComEd’s BE Research and Development (BE R&D) initiative.
