We&#8217;re excited to continue this pioneering goat grazing program and share it with people everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In late June and early July, the kiko goats are grazing under ComEd powerlines in downstate <span class=\"xn-location\">Pekin, Ill.<\/span> Kiko goats are a hearty breed known for their big appetites. The goats are on loan to ComEd from the goat grazing company Goats on the Go. On average, a goat can clear one acre of land a week\u2014equivalent to what a team of people can do with machinery in the same amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Overgrown vegetation can lead to power outages, especially in storms,&#8221; Blaise said. &#8220;Using goats to clear foliage and brush is an eco-friendly, efficient and safe alternative to our crews when it comes to clearing vegetation in difficult landscapes. Plus, they&#8217;re full of personality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To highlight the unique program, which was the first of its kind by an energy company in the Midwest, ComEd has created a lighthearted and educational social media campaign, &#8220;Goatternship,&#8221; across its social media channels through <span class=\"xn-chron\">July 14<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Goatternship&#8221; campaign chronicles the experiences of this summer workforce, sharing the backstories of individual goats \u2014 with names like &#8220;Selena Goatmez&#8221; and &#8220;Great Goatsby&#8221; \u2014 and playing off features of the traditional internship experience, including orientation, on-the-job training and performance reviews.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p\/>\n<p>To learn more about the goats and track their progress, check out ComEd&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2837910-2&amp;h=3101426060&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FComEd%2F&amp;a=Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2837910-2&amp;h=1137860895&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FComEd&amp;a=Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2837910-2&amp;h=1220870217&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fcomed%2F%3Fhl%3Den&amp;a=Instagram\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instagram<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>About ComEd<br \/>Commonwealth <span class=\"xn-person\">Edison Company<\/span> (ComEd) is a unit of <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span>-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), the nation&#8217;s leading competitive energy provider, with approximately\u00a010 million customers.
