ComEd Customers Will See a Rate Increase Beginning June 1. How Much, and Why Is It Happening?

  • ComEd will raise its electricity supply rate to about 10 cents per kilowatt-hour starting June 1, causing higher bills for customers in northern Illinois.
  • The increase is due to the capacity auction conducted by PJM Interconnection last year, leading to about a 45 percent jump from the 6.9 cents per kilowatt-hour rate charged in June of the previous year.
  • The supply and transmission portion, which makes up over half of total charges and from which ComEd does not profit, will directly pass these costs to consumers.
  • The average ComEd customer could face an extra $10.60 per month on their electric bill, with higher rates expected to last at least 12 months, while some relief may come from the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act.
  • Rising power demands driven by data centers, supply shortages caused by policy and system delays at PJM, and calls for legislative reforms suggest ongoing challenges for Illinois electric customers.
