To ensure accountability, Illinois Commerce Commission will evaluate ComEd's performance against approved metrics
CHICAGO (Jan. 21, 2022) – Following the completion of a stakeholder workshop process, ComEd yesterday submitted to the Illinois Commerce Commission, which regulates the state's public utilities, proposed performance metrics that incorporate feedback ComEd received in public workshops and support the goals of the state's new clean energy law, which is designed to achieve a 100 percent clean energy future with a focus on equity. This filing marks the latest milestone in the implementation of the clean energy law.
"ComEd takes great pride in being a national leader in reliably and affordably delivering clean energy to customers, and these metrics encourage the high levels of service that our customers expect and all communities deserve," said Terence R. Donnelly, ComEd president and COO. "The metrics support the state's new clean energy law, as they focus on equitably building a resilient power grid that can withstand more extreme weather caused by climate change, support the growth of clean energy innovations such as solar panels and electric vehicles, and balance the need to keep customers' electric bills affordable."
The clean energy law requires that utilities propose up to eight metrics. ComEd's proposed performance metrics include:
ComEd also proposed 11 tracking metrics across five categories (emissions reductions, grid flexibility, cost savings, diversity and equity) to monitor and report utility performance, which may aid in the development of future performance metrics.
While ComEd has not yet made a final decision as to whether it will pursue a multi-year rate plan, approved metrics will apply should a multi-year rate plan be filed and approved in the future.
