ComEd has filed for a $234.3 million rate reconciliation, seeking to recover cost overruns incurred in 2025 related to connecting data centers and other new businesses, as well as electrification efforts such as building out EV charging infrastructure. If approved, this would add $2.97 per month to the distribution charges on the average residential customer bill beginning in 2027. However, this will be partially offset by a $128 million revenue adjustment filed by ComEd in March. The Illinois Commerce Commission is expected to make a decision in December. While ComEd is touting the 2025 reconciliation request as a decrease over the amount paid by customers this year, it still represents an increase over the delivery charges previously approved by the ICC. The utility is already dealing with higher delivery charges after approving a four-year rate hike in 2024.
