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

  • ComEd customers in Illinois will face an electric supply rate increase to about 10 cents per kilowatt-hour starting June 1, 2025, resulting in higher monthly bills.
  • This hike stems from last year's PJM Interconnection capacity auction and reflects a roughly 45 percent rise from the previous June rate of 6.9 cents per kilowatt-hour.
  • The increase impacts the parts of the bill related to energy supply and delivery infrastructure, which ComEd forwards to customers without adding any profit, while continuing to manage the delivery segment to maintain dependable service.
  • The Citizens Utility Board predicts that the typical residential electric bill will increase by about $10.60 each month, and their spokesperson cautioned that over the course of a year, customers might face additional charges exceeding $100.
  • The increase highlights challenges from rising demand, slow renewable integration, and PJM policies, prompting calls for pro-consumer grid reforms and legislative actions to reduce future price spikes.
