Powering the Next Era of Growth

Demand for electricity continues to surge, as AI, advanced manufacturing, electrification, and digital infrastructure rewrite the rules of the global economy. The electric grid has become a catalyst for economic growth and a driver in the transition to a cleaner energy future.

At this pivotal moment, Gil C. Quiniones, President and CEO of ComEd, and Phil Clement, President and CEO of World Business Chicago, will join Executives’ Club members and friends for a conversation on the intersection of energy, economic development, and the future of the Chicago region.

Together, these two electrifying leaders will explore how rising energy demand is transforming the business landscape and sparking new opportunities for growth across Illinois. Quiniones will share how utilities are planning and investing in a more resilient, reliable, and flexible grid capable of supporting emerging industries, withstanding increasingly severe weather, and delivering value for customers. Clement will discuss how those investments align with Chicago 2050, the region’s long-term economic growth strategy, and why energy infrastructure is becoming a key factor in attracting investment from advanced technology sectors.

The discussion will also examine how public and private partners can plug into an increasingly electrified economy, strengthen the region’s competitive advantage, and ensure Chicago remains a destination for innovation, investment, and job creation.
