When an existing customer changes its Federal Employer Identification Number (“TAX ID”), ComEd creates a new account for the new entity with the new TAX ID. For those customers supplied by a RES, the RES supply service must be reinstated on the new account if the customer wishes to continue supply service with the RES. In order to avoid the discontinuance of RES supply service for the new customer in this circumstance, ComEd provides a new business process for the RES serving the predecessor customer. To begin this process, complete the attached authorization form and submit it to ESSD via email or fax.
