Exelon CEO Calvin Butler lands in New Hampshire the week of rising energy cost talks

Exelon’s Falcon 7X, tail N496AC, flew from Buckley Space Force Base in Colorado to Lebanon Municipal Airport in New Hampshire on June 15, touching down just before 8 p.m. local time. The two-hour, 54-minute flight from KBKF to KLEB places Exelon CEO Calvin Butler in the Upper Valley the same week the national conversation on utility profits and data-center demand remains a key storyline for the industry.

Butler has been speaking publicly about balancing reliability and ratepayer affordability. In April, he told Semafor that “inadequate supply to meet rising demand” is driving up bills [semafor.com](https://www.semafor.com/article/04/16/2026/exelon-ceo-calvin-butler-says-rising-energy-costs-can-be-addressed-with-easier-rules). Exelon recently boosted its capital plan to $41.7 billion with $1.5 billion in new transmission investments, per the company’s first-quarter earnings release [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1109357/000110935726000061/exc-20260506ex991.htm). The New Hampshire destination may offer a quieter setting for strategy discussions than the Mid-Atlantic capitals where Exelon’s PECO unit withdrew a rate case in April amid political pressure [rtowww.com](https://rtowww.com/131821-exelon-continues-seek-balance-affordability-reliability-growth/).

This flight follows a pattern of recent trips around the Northeast. Over the previous week, the same jet visited Vermont, Massachusetts, and Colorado before returning to New Hampshire. The itinerary suggests Butler is balancing board-level talks with the hands-on regulatory reality unfolding from Harrisburg to Chicago.
