Community Information Nights are an important part of Exelon Generation's annual public information and outreach campaign, designed to engage and educate the public on plant operations. Throughout the year, our employees are active in the community through volunteering, hosting tours, visiting area schools, appearing at community events and financially supporting dozens of civic and charitable organizations.
