ComEd Summer Price Hike: Expect $10.60 More on Your Electricity Bill

ComEd Announces Significant Electricity Price Hike for Summer 2025 Chicago, IL – June 1, 2025 – ComEd, a major electricity provider in Illinois, announced a substantial price increase for its residential customers, effective immediately. The utility company stated that the average monthly bill will increase by approximately $10.60, representing a 10-15% rise. This increase will remain in effect for the next year. "The average monthly residential customer bill in the ComEd service territory is expected to rise by about $10.60," according to a ComEd statement. The company attributes the rate increase to rising capacity costs. The Citizens Utility Board (CUB) estimates this increase will cost customers an additional $10.60 per month. The first bills reflecting the increase will arrive in July. While ComEd has cited capacity costs as the reason, CUB and other consumer advocates may scrutinize these claims in the coming months. The impact on low-income families is a significant concern, and advocacy groups are likely to push for assistance programs to mitigate the financial burden on vulnerable populations. The long-term effects of this price increase on the community remain to be seen.
