CHICAGO – The Illinois Commerce Commission announced that Commonwealth Edison has submitted a filing indicating that for the June 2022 – May 2023 delivery year, it will provide a credit to all of its delivery customers equal to 3.087 cents per kWh. This credit will lower consumer bills by about $19.71 per month for customers of ComEd. The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act or CEJA, created a Carbon Mitigation Credit program that preserves existing carbon-free, nuclear generation facilities. Preservation of these resources, which might otherwise retire, allows the electric generation needs of customers to be met by carbon-free resources rather than facilities that emit significant amounts of carbon pollution.
“For clean energy to be impactful it must also be accessible, and I’m pleased that our Climate and Equitable Jobs Act will bring an average of $237 in annual savings to families using ComEd utility services,” said Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
All ComEd retail customers, including the bills of customers that do not take energy supply from ComEd, will notice a separate line item on their utility bill entitled, “Carbon-Free Energy Resource Adjustment” which will reflect the credit.
Weekdays 12 a.m. to 5 a.m.
