Exelon, ComEd face Illinois clean energy coalition in 3-bill showdown
The long-awaited fix to the Illinois renewables mandate has turned into an epic struggle for the state’s energy future.
Commonwealth Edison, the state’s dominant utility, has a plan (HB 3328) that would allow it to rate base a litany of smart grid and distributed energy investments.
Exelon, ComEd’s parent company, also has a plan (HB 3293), designed to be complementary with its subsidiary’s and protect its aging nuclear fleet from becoming unprofitable.
