The future of energy depends on the next generation of leaders, and at Pepco, we’re committed to empowering students to take charge of their future. That’s why we hosted Takeover Day at Howard University, bringing industry experts, innovators, and aspiring professionals together for a day of “Building the Energy Workforce of the Future.”

As the energy sector evolves—embracing renewables, modernizing infrastructure, and prioritizing clean and affordable energy—we need fresh perspectives and bold ideas to drive real change. Through panel discussions, networking sessions, and an exclusive Executive Lecture with Exelon’s President and CEO, Calvin Butler, Howard students gained valuable insights into the opportunities ahead and how they can shape a cleaner, more equitable energy future. By fostering connections between industry leaders and emerging talent, we’re not just preparing students for careers—we’re ensuring a more sustainable and innovative energy industry for years to come.
