CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a series of rulings called for by the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) on Tuesday, Sept. 27, ushered in a new era for ComEd and Ameren electricity customers. The ICC rulings established a set of performance metrics that replaces the anti-consumer formula rate-setting system of the past with a more customer-centered system that, if implemented correctly, will help Illinois consumers secure the equitable, reliable and affordable clean energy future that CEJA envisions.

Key Points: 
  • Under the new system, those utility giants will have to deliver results, or pay a penalty that reduces their profits.
  • We appreciate that the ICC in multiple instances sided with consumer and environmental advocates and approved tougher standards than what the utilities wanted.
  • This can help ease energy price spikes that are sparked by fossil fuels, and deliver cleaner, cheaper power to Illinois consumers.
  • Created by the Illinois Legislature, CUB opened its doors in 1984 to represent the interests of residential and small-business utility customers.
