New landmark energy legislation results in bill
changes for residential customers, savings and paving the way for
the new clean energy economy
The Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA) went into effect as Illinois
law on June 1st and will result in some immediate savings and a few
line item changes on ComEd residential customer monthly
statements.
FEJA, energy legislation that passed the Illinois General
Assembly with broad bipartisan support and was signed into law by
Governor Rauner last year, helps to pivot Illinois to the new clean
economy by growing renewable energy resources and significantly
expanding energy efficiency programs that help customers save
energy and money.
The immediate savings on customers billing statements are a
result of the temporary removal of the energy efficiency charge of
about $2 per month and will help offset a new $1 charge that begins
in June to support zero-carbon energy supplied to Illinois.
Beginning in June the following FEJA-related line item changes
will appear on ComEd residential customer monthly statements:
- Renewable Portfolio Standard An
existing charge - which has been embedded in the supply charge is
now a separate line item – that helps support the development of
residential and commercial renewable energy from wind and solar in
Illinois.
- Zero Emission Standard This new
line item supports zero-carbon energy supplied to Illinois.
- Energy Efficiency Programs
Beginning in May an existing line item with a $2 charge has been
set to $0 and temporarily removed from bills.
To inform customers and help them understand the changes to
their bill, ComEd is including a fact sheet within customer
bills to be mailed out throughout the month of June.
FEJA’s benefits will ramp up over the next several years, for
