NEW YORK, July 19 (Reuters) - Some information systems

at Exelon Corp ( EXC ) and its local electric and natural gas

utilities were affected by the global tech outage, the U.S.

power company said on Friday.

Exelon ( EXC ), which is based in Chicago and is one of the largest

electric companies in the United States, said the outages were

limited to servers and some computers and did not cause any new

customer outages or affect bill payments.

"As a result of a third-party worldwide technology issue, we

have implemented processes to continue to support operations,

including processing and responding to electric and natural gas

emergencies and outages safely and reliably," Exelon ( EXC ) said in a

statement. "We are continuing to assess the impact of this

third-party event."

Several U.S. power utilities, including one run by the City

of Corpus Christi, Texas, reported IT issues in connection with

worldwide cyber outages across numerous industries following an

update by CrowdStrike ( CRWD ) for Microsoft Windows hosts.
