Construction is underway at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP), a multibillion-dollar project on the South Side that aims to make Chicago a global hub for quantum technology, and the University of Illinois System is now seeking partners to build two cornerstone facilities. ComEd has begun delivering critical upgrades to power the campus, which broke ground in fall 2025 on the former U.S. Steel South Works site. The utility is installing specialized grid enhancements and a substation to support advanced energy demands for tenants including PsiQuantum, IBM and Infleqtion.
