Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Van Drew announced that Exelon has rescheduled this week's meeting, extending the timeline to allow for further preparation of their response. The meeting has now been rescheduled for the first week of December.

"I am disappointed that this process has been delayed yet again by Exelon, but this better mean that they are developing a serious response and action plan to address the concerns of our community," said Congressman Van Drew. "Our discussions with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the appropriate Congressional committees are ongoing, and we are committed to leaving no stone unturned to ensure South Jersey residents receive the relief they deserve.

"This situation should not require federal intervention as the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has a responsibility to act. However, as they continue to stand by, we will do whatever it takes at the federal level to bring justice for South Jersey residents. We are also keeping the incoming President's team informed and prepared to secure their support if necessary. We will continue to be open and provide updates with any new developments. Each and every step of this process will be revealed to the public in order to maintain maximum transparency."
