Citing expert testimony and excessive profits, the Citizens Utility Board is petitioning state regulators to slash ComEd’s proposed four-year, $1.47 billion rate increase by more than 60%.
The filing Monday with the Illinois Commerce Commission seeks to reduce ComEd’s proposal by at least $914.5 million, with additional testimony by other watchdog groups and the Illinois attorney general’s office expected to bring the cumulative recommended cuts to over $1 billion.
The ICC set a Monday deadline for submitting testimony on the ComEd rate increase proposal.
